To determine

To calculate the area of the triangle.

Answer to Problem 34SR

  $27$ square inches.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

In the triangle, base $b=9$ inches and height $h=6$ inches.

Formula used:

Area of the triangle $a=\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h$

Where ‘b’ is the base and ‘h’ is the height of the triangle.

Calculation:

Area of the triangle

  $a=\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h$

Formula to compute the area of a triangle.

  $=\frac{1}{2}\times 9\times 6$

Putting the values in the formula.

  $=9\times 3$

Multiplying the same.
