thats not an option
In that case, let's revisit the options and calculate the area of the scale drawing using the correct formula.
Area = (1/2) * base * height
Area = (1/2) * 8 * 2
Area = 4 * 2
Area = 8 square inches
Since 8 square inches is not an option provided, there might have been a mistake in the answer choices given.
pick one from the list
Based on the closest option from the list provided, the most appropriate choice would be:
6.4 square inches
Even though it is not an exact match to the calculated area of 8 square inches, it is the closest option available.
stop saying 8 thats not an option
Apologies for the oversight. Let's reevaluate the options to determine the best choice based on the information provided.
Given:
Base = 8 inches
Height = 2 inches
Area = (1/2) * 8 * 2
Area = 4 * 2
Area = 8 square inches
Since 8 square inches is not an option, let's calculate the area again and compare with the available options:
Area = (1/2) * 8 * 2
Area = 4 * 2
Area = 8 square inches
Among the given options, the closest choice to 8 square inches would be 6.4 square inches.
To find the area of a triangle, you use the formula: Area = (1/2) * base * height.
For Crystal's scale drawing:
Base = 8 inches
Height = 2 inches
Area = (1/2) * 8 * 2
Area = 4 * 2
Area = 8 square inches
So, the correct response is: 8 square inches
