Question

The formula for the area of a triangle is A=1/2bh

Find the area of a triangle with a base (b) 9 feet and a height (h) 16 feet.

The area of the triangle is blank square feet.

Answer 1

A=hbb
2=16·9
2=72ft²

Answer 2

Multiply

9*16=144

Divide

144/2=72

Answer 3

ok so you want to replace the variables (letters) with the values given for them. so it will be A= 1/2(9x16) now you multiply b x h to get 144. so replace that to get A=1/2(144). now simplify- A=72 sq ft.
