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? Do not round your answer.
To find the area of the right triangle, we use the formula: Area = 0.5 x base x height
Area = 0.5 x 4.25 x 11
Area = 0.5 x 46.75
Area = 23.375 square inches
Therefore, the area of the right triangle is 23.375 square inches.
