Reggie is making a triangular flower bed in the corner of his deck. The height of the triangle is 8 inches and the base is 12 inches. How much space will the flower bed cover?

What operation do you use to solve this problem?
Area, Perimeter, or Circumference?

Respuesta :

You would use area to find how much space it covers

The formula for triangle area is A=1/2*b*h so we plug in the given values and solve for A

A=1/2*8*12
A=4*12
A=48 square inches

Hope this helps
