The area of a triangle,A , is given as one-half of the base times the height. So A= 1/2bh. If the base is 4 and the height is 3 what is the area

Question

This means I have a formula for A, in terms of b and h. 

Answer 1

A = 1/2bh

 

b stands for base, and h stands for height.

 

We substitute the base and the height in the equation.

 

A = 1/2*4*3

A = 1/2*12

A = 6
