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

Step 1

The area of a triangle is equal to

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

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

Step 2

Substitute the values of the base

$b = 6$ and height

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

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

Step 3

Cancel the common factor of

$2$ .

Step 3.1

Factor

$2$ out of

$6$ .

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot (2 (3)) \cdot 6$

Step 3.2

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot (2 \cdot 3) \cdot 6$

Step 3.3

Rewrite the expression.

$3 \cdot 6$

Step 4

Multiply

$3$ by

$6$ .
