A=%281%2F2%29bh
b=sqrt%2830%29
h=sqrt%286%29
A=%281%2F2%29%28sqrt%2830%29%29%28sqrt%286%29%29
A=%28sqrt%28180%29%29%2F2 find the seperate squares in 180
A=%28sqrt%289%2A4%2A5%29%29%2F2the squares 3%5E2 and 2%5E2 can then be factored
A=%283%2A2%2Asqrt%285%29%29%2F2 the 2 canceles
A=3%2Asqrt%285%29

Solving for the Area of the Triangle
Given: base=30m;height=6m
Use the formula for triangle 1/2 (b)(h):
Substitute the given:
A=1/2 radical(30)radical(6)
A=6.708 square meters

Area of a triangle. Find the exact area of a triangle with a base of (radical)30 meters and a height of (radical)6 meters.
-----------
Area = b*h/2
= sqrt%2830%29%2Asqrt%286%29%2F2+=+sqrt%28180%29%2F2
= 3sqrt%285%29
=~ 6.7082 sq meters
