Question

For an art project, you are using a piece of cloth that is cut out in the shape of a right triangle. Find the area of the cloth.

Answer 1

Answer:

area = 32 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) of a triangle is

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

here b = 8 and h = 8, hence

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 8 × 8 = 32 in²
