Answer 2

The area of triangle with base 31 inches and height 17 inches is 263.5
`inches^2`

Solution:

Given that,

Base of triangle = 31 inches

Height of triangle = 17 inches

To find: Area of Triangle

Formula used:

`Area of Triangle = (1)/(2) * base * height`

Plugging in the given values in formula, we get,

`Area of Triangle = (1)/(2) * 31 * 17\\\\= (527)/(2) = 263.5`

Thus the area of triangle is calculated as 263.5
