Remember, the formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2b x h where b represents the length of the base of the triangle and h represents its height.

The triangle is 8 in and 7 in

1 answer

The area of the triangle can be calculated as:

Area = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 * 8 in * 7 in
Area = 1/2 * 56 in
Area = 28 square inches

So, the area of the triangle is 28 square inches.
