\begin{matrix} b = & 4 h = & 6 \end{matrix}

$\begin{array}{r} b = & 4 \\ h = & 6 \end{array}$

Step 1

The area of a triangle is equal to

\frac{1}{2}

$\frac{1}{2}$ the base times the height.

\frac{1}{2} \cdot (b a s e) \cdot (h e i g h t)

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot (b a s e) \cdot (h e i g h t)$

Step 2

Substitute the values of the base

b = 4

$b = 4$ and height

h = 6

$h = 6$ into the formula for the area of a triangle.

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 4 \cdot 6

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot 4 \cdot 6$

Step 3

Step 3.1

Factor

2

$2$ out of

4

$4$ .

\frac{1}{2} \cdot (2 (2)) \cdot 6

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot (2 (2)) \cdot 6$

Step 3.2

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot (2 \cdot 2) \cdot 6$

Step 3.3

Rewrite the expression.

$2 \cdot 6$

Step 4

Multiply

$2$ by

$6$ .

$12$
