What is the area of a triangle with a base of 16 inches and a height of31 inches
A= (1/2)(b*h)
or to be more specific, one half the base times the height. so one half of 16 times 31, or 8 times 31.
To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula: Area = (base * height) / 2.
In this case, the base of the triangle is given as 16 inches and the height is given as 31 inches. Applying the formula, we get:
Area = (16 inches * 31 inches) / 2
= 496 square inches / 2
= 248 square inches
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 248 square inches.
