richyw · Answer

the area of a triangle is equal to one half of its base times its height$$A=\frac{bh}{2}$$

anonymous · Answer

i still dont understand

destinymasha · Answer

the area of a triangle = the base x the height, divided by 2, 
so 13 x 6 -divided by 2

richyw · Answer

the question asks you to find the area. I just gave you the formula for area in terms of base an height. the question states the base and height, so plug those into the formula.

richyw · Answer

$$\text{area}=\frac{\text{base}\times \text{height}}{2}$$
