To find the area of a right triangle, you can use the formula A = 1/2 * base * height.
Given that the base is 1 1/2 centimeters (or 3/2 cm) and the height is 2 1/2 centimeters (or 5/2 cm), we can plug these values into the formula:
A = 1/2 * 3/2 * 5/2
A = 1/2 * 3/2 * 5/2
A = 3/4 * 5/2
A = 15/8
A = 1 7/8
Therefore, the area of the right triangle is 1 7/8 square centimeters. So the correct response is:
178 square centimeters
1 7/8 square centimeters
