A piece of paper is in the shape of a right triangle. The base is 6.25 inches and the height is 10 inches. What is the area of the right triangle in square inches?
The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Plugging in the given values:
Area = 0.5 * 6.25 * 10
Area = 0.5 * 62.5
Area = 31.25
Therefore, the area of the right triangle is 31.25 square inches.
