Answer 1

To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:

area = (base * height) / 2

In this case, the base of the triangle is 24 inches and the height is 20 inches, so plugging these values into the formula gives:

area = (24 * 20) / 2

area = 240 / 2

area = 120 square inches

So the area of the top of the cheese board is 120 square inches.
