The formula for the area of a triangle is:

Area = (base x height) / 2

Substituting the given values, we get:

Area = (7 x 6) / 2
Area = 42 / 2
Area = 21 square inches

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 21 square inches.

Answer 2

That doesn’t make sense? Where did the 2 come from?

Answer 3

geez - read the formula!

I apologize for the earlier confusion. The formula for the area of a triangle is (base x height) / 2. So, in this case:

Area = (7 x 6) / 2
Area = 42 / 2
Area = 21 square inches

The area of the triangle is 21 square inches.

Answer 6

wait so 8x5 = 40 then you divide it by 2?

No, that calculation was not correct. For this particular triangle with a base of 7 inches and height of 6 inches, the area formula is:

Area = (base x height) / 2

So, it would be:

Area = (7 x 6) / 2
Area = 42 / 2
Area = 21 square inches

I apologize for the earlier errors.
