The formula for the area of a triangle is a=1/2bh . If the base of the triangle is 6x units and has a height of x+3, write a simplified algebraic expression for the area of the triangle in terms of x

Respuesta :

Answer:

  a = 3x^2 +9x

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the given dimensions in the formula and simplify. The distributive property is useful.

  a = (1/2)bh

  a = (1/2)(6x)(x+3) = 3x(x +3)

  a = 3x^2 +9x
