Answer 1

26in*16in/.5=208

208in2

Answer 2

Answer:

Area of the triangular top is 208 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

We have, the triangular top has dimensions,

Base = 26 inches

Height = 16 inches.

As, area of a triangle = $\frac{1}{2}\times Base\times Height$

So, Area of the top = $\frac{1}{2}\times 26\times 16$

i.e. Area of the top = $\frac{416}{2}$

i.e. Area of the top = 208 in²

Hence, the area of the triangular top is 208 in².
