A piece of paper is in the shape of a right triangle. The base is 4.25 inches and the height is 11 inches. What is the area of the right triangle in square inches? Do not round your answer.

Answer 1

To find the area of the right triangle, we use the formula: Area = 0.5 x base x height

Area = 0.5 x 4.25 x 11
Area = 0.5 x 46.75
Area = 23.375 square inches

Therefore, the area of the right triangle is 23.375 square inches.
