A triangular piece of green tissue will form the wing of a paper dragon. Compose a rectangle to find the area of the wing. What is the area in square inches?
Responses

108 square inches
304 square inches
54 square inches
608 square inches
To find the area of a triangle, you would use the formula: (base x height) / 2.
Assuming the triangular piece of tissue forms a right-angled triangle, with one side being the base of the wing and the other side being the height of the wing, we can set up a rectangle to represent the wing:
Base of the wing = x inches (longest side of the triangle)
Height of the wing = y inches (vertical side of the triangle)
Now we have a rectangle with dimensions x by y. The area of a rectangle is base x height, so in this case, the area of the wing would be x * y square inches.
Without knowing the specific dimensions of the triangle, we cannot definitively calculate the area. Therefore, none of the options provided (108, 304, 54, 608 square inches) can be identified as the correct answer. The answer would depend on the specific measurements of x and y given for the base and height of the wing.
