Answer:

Area of triangle is 1 inchesĀ²

Explanation:

We are given:

Base of triangle = 16 inches

Height of triangle =
(1)/(8) \: inches

We need to find:

Area of triangle

The formula used to find Area of triangle is:


Area \:of\: triangle=(1)/(2)* b * h

where b is base and h is height.

Putting values and finding area:


Area \:of\: triangle=(1)/(2)* 16 * (1)/(8)\\ Area \:of\: triangle=(16)/(16)\\ Area \:of\: triangle=1\:inches^2

So, Area of triangle is 1 inchesĀ²
