Answer:
option A is correct.
Area of a triangle is 30 square inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of triangle is equal to multiply the base by the height, and then divide by 2.
i.,e \(A = \frac{1}{2}bh\)
where
A is the area of triangle
b is the base of the triangle
h is the height of the triangle.
As per the given statement:
height(h) = 12 inches and base(b) = 5 inches.
Substitute these given values to get area of the triangle;
\(A = \frac{1}{2}bh\)
\(A = \frac{1}{2}(5)(12) = 5 \times 6 = 30\) square inches.
therefore, the area of a triangle is 30 square inches
