Answer: 1/30

Explanation:

The equation to find the area of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height

You already have both the base and height so you plug that in

(1/5 * 1/3) * 1/2

multiply the base and height together and you get 1/15.

Now you have to multiply that by 1/2.

(1/15)*(1/2)

When you do this, you get1/30

Answer: 1/30 inches squared

Explanation:

A=area of triangle. b=base. h=height

A=1/2 * b * h

A=1/2 * 1/3 * 1/5

A=1/(2*3*5)

A=1/30 inches squared
