A piece of paper is in the shape of a right triangle. The base is 4.25 inches and the height is 11 inches. What is the area of the right triangle in square inches?
The area of a triangle is equal to 1/2 the base times the height.
So, the area of this right triangle is:
1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 4.25 x 11
= 23.375 square inches.
Therefore, the area of the right triangle is 23.375 square inches.
