[tex]\huge\text{Hey there!}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Formula for finding area of triangle:}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{2}\times \bold{b}ase\times \bold{h}eight}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Your equation should look like:}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{2}\times 8 \times 12}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Making it easier to solve:}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{2}\times 8 \times 12}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{= \dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{8}{1} \times \dfrac{12}{1}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{= \dfrac{1\times8\times 12}{2\times1\times1}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{= \dfrac{8\times 12}{2\times1}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{= \dfrac{96}{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{= \dfrac{96\div 2}{2\div 2}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{= \dfrac{48}{1}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{= 48\div1}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{= 48}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Therefore, your \boxed{answer} should be:}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\boxed{\frak{48\ in^2}}\huge\checkmark[/tex]
[tex]\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}[/tex]
