Answer 1

The area of the triangular case = 61.2 square inches

Explanation:

P.S - The exact question is -

Given - Mr. Sanders wants to display his American flag in a triangular case as shown below.

To find - What is the area of the triangular case ?

Proof -

Given that,

Base of triangle =
`14(2)/(5)in`

Height of triangle = 8.5 in

We know that,

Area of triangle =
`(1)/(2)*Base*Height`

=
`(1)/(2)*8.5*14(2)/(5)`

=
`(1)/(2)*8.5*14.4`

=
`(1)/(2)*122.4`

= 61.2

∴ we get

The area of the triangular case = 61.2 square inches
