Find the exact area of a triangle with a base of square root 30 meters and a height of square root 6 meters.
-----------------------
The area is bh/2, 1/2 of base times height.
For this one, it's:
sqrt%2830%29%2Asqrt%286%29%2F2
= sqrt%2830%2A6%29%2F2
= sqrt%28180%29%2F2
= 6sqrt%285%29%2F2
= 3sqrt%285%29
