Chapter 6, Problem 1RE

To determine

The value of $A\left(3, 6\right),$ where the function $A\left(b,h\right)=\frac{1}{2}bh$ .

Answer to Problem 1RE

Solution:$A\left(3, 6\right)=9$ .

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:Given: The function is $A\left(b,h\right)=\frac{1}{2}bh$ .

Calculation: Consider the function $A\left(b,h\right)=\frac{1}{2}bh$ . Now, substituting the values $b=3$ and $h=6$ , we get,

  $A\left(3, 6\right)=\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times 6$

  $=\frac{1}{2}\times 18$

  $=9$

Conclusion: The value of the function $A\left(b,h\right)=\frac{1}{2}bh$ for the given inputs $b=3$ and $h=6$ is $A\left(3, 6\right)=9$ .
