Answer 1

A = 20 in²

Explanation:

the area (A) of the triangle is calculated as

A =
`(1)/(2)` bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

here b = 5 and h = 8 , then

A =
`(1)/(2)` × 5 × 8 =
`(1)/(2)` × 40 = 20 in²

Kevin's answer of 40 in² is incorrect

He obviously forgot to multiply by
`(1)/(2)`
