Answer: C

Explanation:

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:

Area = (base x height)/2

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Area = (9 x 19)/2

Area = 171/2

Area = 85.5 square inches

Therefore, the area of the pennant is 85.5 square inches, which corresponds to option C.
