A piece of tile is in the shape of a right triangle. The base is 1 1/2 centimeters and the height is 2 1/2 centimeters. What is the area of the square in centimeters?

The area of a right triangle is calculated using the formula:

Area = 1/2 * base * height

Plugging in the values given:

Area = 1/2 * 1 1/2 * 2 1/2
Area = 1/2 * 3/2 * 5/2
Area = 3/4 * 5/2
Area = 15/8

Therefore, the area of the right triangle is 15/8 square centimeters.

Out of these four answer choices, which is correct?

A. 4 square centimeters

B. 8 square centimeters

C. 1 7/8 square centimeters

D. 3 3/5 square centimeters

To convert the fraction 15/8 to a mixed number:

15 divided by 8 equals 1 with remainder 7. Therefore, the mixed number is 1 7/8.

So, the correct answer choice is:

C. 1 7/8 square centimeters
