To find the area of a triangle we use this equation:
[tex]\frac{1}{2} bh\\[/tex]
b= base
h= height
So since we are given the information that the sides are 6 and the height is 5 we simply can plug the information right into the equation:
[tex]\frac{(6)(5)}{2}[/tex]= 15
So the are is 15 inches sqaured, hope this helps :)
