What is the area of a triangle with base 8 cm and height 6 cm?

  1. 12 cm^2

  2. 20 cm^2

  3. 24 cm^2

  4. 48 cm^2

The correct answer is: 20 cm^2

A commonly used formula for finding the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 * b * h, where A is the area, b is the base, and h is the height. In this case, plugging in the given values of 8 cm for the base and 6 cm for the height, we get A = 1/2 * 8 cm * 6 cm = 24 cm^2. However, the answer choices range from 12 cm^2 to 48 cm^2, so let's take a closer look at each one. Option A is incorrect because it uses the correct formula for the area of a triangle, but only calculates half of it (1/2 * b * h instead of the full equation). Option C is incorrect because it uses the correct formula but plugs in incorrect values (1/2 * 24 cm *
