Answer 1

To find the area of one triangle flag, you can use the formula:

Area = (Base * Height) / 2

Plugging in the values given:

Area = (16 inches * 24 inches) / 2 = 192 square inches

Since you need to make 60 flags, you would multiply the area of one flag by 60:

Total Felt Needed = 192 square inches * 60 = 11,520 square inches

Therefore, you would need 11,520 square inches of felt to make 60 flags.
