The formula for the area of a triangle is A=12bhA=12bh. Find the area of a triangle with a base (b) of 9 feet and a height (h) of 16 feet. The area of the triangle is _____ square feet.

Verified Answer :

A = 1/2 (b h)
A = 1/2(9
16)
A = 1/2(144)
A = 144/2 = 72 ft^2

Given the base of the triangle as 9 feet, height of the triangle as 16 feet, the area is 72 square feet.
