Answer:
27 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
The height is measured perpendicular to the base, so it is convenient to use a base such that the height is easily found. Here, the vertical line is a suitable base, as the height is the horizontal distance from that to the opposite vertex.
A = 1/2bh = 1/2(9)(6) = 27 . . . . square units = triangle area
