What is the area of this triangle?

OpenStudy (study312):

|dw:1452211522760:dw|

OpenStudy (danjs):

looks like half of a rectangle,

OpenStudy (study312):

does that mean you want me to draw a new one?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Area of traingle: \(\Large\frac{1}{2}bh\) b= lenght of base h = height

OpenStudy (danjs):

no, a rectangle area is base times height, right a right triangle, is just a rectangle with a diagonal through the opposite points, the area will be half the rectangle

OpenStudy (study312):

so 6 • 3 = 18, 18 ÷ 2 = 9?

OpenStudy (danjs):

yaeh units^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area is base times height, so the formula is: b x h = 3 x 6 = 12 Therefore,the area of the triangle is 12.

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

^that is completely incorrect
