Answer:

1 in²

Explanation:

The area of the triangle calculated using the area formula is 1 in²

Given the Parameters :

Base of triangle = 16 inches

Height of triangle = 1/8 inches

Area of a triangle can be obtained using the relation :

Area = 1/2 × base × height

Substituting the Parameters into the equation :

Area of triangle = 1/2 × 16 × 1/8 = 1 in²

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 1 in²
