(16 * 24)/(2) = (384)/(2) = 192

192 is the total area of the triangle; since he kept 2/3 of the flag divide the area by three and times it by two:


192 / 3 = 64 * 2 = 128

answer is 128cm^2

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!
