Question

find the area of the triangle below. be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify base and height

Base \( b = 8\) ft, height \( h = 6\) ft (assuming the right triangle or using the given sides for area calculation).

Step2: Apply triangle area formula

The formula for the area of a triangle is \( A=\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h\). Substitute \( b = 8\) and \( h = 6\):
\( A=\frac{1}{2}\times8\times6\)
\( A = 4\times6\)
\( A = 24\) square feet.

Answer:

\( 24\) square feet
