If the legs of a right triangle are 6 cm and 5 cm, find the area of the triangle.

A = 15 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 1/2 bh where b is the base and h is the height

When the triangle is a right triangle the legs are the base and the height

A = 1/2 (6) * (5)

A = 15 cm^2

15 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = ½ * base * height

= ½ * 5 * 6 = 15
