What is the area of this triangle

A = 18 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula A = (bh)/2

where b = base length and h = height

Fortunately for us, the variables are already defined and given to us in the problem

All we have to do is plug in the values of h and b into the formula for area of a triangle

A = (bh)/2

b = 3 and h = 12

A = ((12)(3))/2

multiply 12 and 3

A = 36/2

divide 36 by 2

A = 18 in²
