Respuesta :
Area of a right triangle = .5 * leg1 * leg2
Area = .5* 24
Area = 12 square inches
Area = .5* 24
Area = 12 square inches
Answer:
Area of triangle is 12 in.²
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given that:
The legs of a right triangle measure 4 and 6 inches.
(i.e. height and base of right angled triangle)
We have to find the area of this triangle.
area of triangle=[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}\times base\times height[/tex]
=[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times 6[/tex]
= 12 in.²
Hence, Area of triangle is 12 in.²
