To find the area of one triangle flag, you can use the formula:
Area = (Base * Height) / 2
Plugging in the values given:
Area = (16 inches * 24 inches) / 2 = 192 square inches
Since you need to make 60 flags, you would multiply the area of one flag by 60:
Total Felt Needed = 192 square inches * 60 = 11,520 square inches
Therefore, you would need 11,520 square inches of felt to make 60 flags.
