The formula to calculate the area of a triangle is given to be:


A=(1)/(2)\cdot b\cdot h

where b is the length of the base of the triangle and h is the height.

From the triangle in the question, we have the following parameters:


\begin{gathered} b=20\text{ in} \\ h=14\text{ in} \end{gathered}

Therefore, we can calculate the area to be:


A=(1)/(2)*20*14=140

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 140.00 cubic inches.
