Question

the length of the base of a triangle is 6 inches, and the height of the triangle is 11 inches. what is the area, in square inches, of the triangle? a 17 b 33 c 51 d 66

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a triangle

The formula for the area of a triangle is \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h\), where \(b\) is the base and \(h\) is the height.

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Given \(b = 6\) inches and \(h=11\) inches. Then \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times6\times11\).
First, calculate \(6\times11 = 66\).
Then, \(A=\frac{66}{2}=33\).

Answer:

B. 33
