your answer is incorrect.
find the area of the right triangle.
area = 15

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the base and height

Count the units. Base \( b = 6 \) units, height \( h= 5 \) units.

Step2: Use the area formula for a right - triangle

The formula for the area of a triangle is \( A=\frac{1}{2}bh \). Substitute \( b = 6 \) and \( h = 5 \) into the formula: \( A=\frac{1}{2}\times6\times5 \).

Step3: Calculate the area

First, \( 6\times5 = 30 \). Then, \( \frac{1}{2}\times30=15 \).

Answer:

The area of the right - triangle is \( 15 \) square units.
