To solve the problem, we need to find the area of the triangle, and then find 2/3 of that triangle.
The equation to find the area of a triangle is bh1/2 or base*height*1/2.
Now substitute the known values.
24*16*1/2
Solve
24*8
192.
Now, the easiest way to find 2/3 of a number is to divide that number by 3 and multiply the answer by 2.
192/3=64
64*2=128
Omar kept 128 square centimeters of the flag.
Hope this helps!
