A sandwich is cut into two pieces. Each piece is the shape of a triangle. The triangle has a base of 6 inches and a height of 3 inches. Find the area of one of the triangular sandwich pieces.
(1 point)
The area of the triangular sandwich piece is square inches.
The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height.
Plugging in the values:
Area = 1/2 * 6 inches * 3 inches
Area = 1/2 * 18 square inches
Area = 9 square inches
Therefore, the area of one of the triangular sandwich pieces is 9 square inches.
