ANSWER:

28 square inches

Explanation:

Given:

Base = 7 inches

Height = 8 inches

We can calculate the area with the help of the triangle area formula, which is as follows:


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

We replacing:


\begin{gathered} A=(1)/(2)\cdot7\cdot8 \\ A=28 \end{gathered}

The area is 28 square inches.
