To do area problems you need to know the formula. The formula for the area of a triange is: Area=base*height(or lenght)/2
.
* is multiply / is divide

.
Now it is time to work the equation...You will sub in the information you are given into the formula. This will make.
(9*2)/2
.
.
This translates to(18)/2
.
.
18/2=9
So the answer is 9 square feet.
