2.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.(1 point)
____square inches
The area of a right triangle is calculated using the formula:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Given that the base is 4.25 inches and the height is 11 inches, we can plug these values into the formula:
Area= 0.5 * 4.25 * 11
Area = 0.5 * 46.75
Area = 23.375 square inches
Therefore, the area of the right triangle is 23.375 square inches.
