Question 294633: what is the area of a triangle whose height is half of its base of 16 inches

the problem says the height is half the base. The base is 16 so half of that is 8. This means the height is 8.
The formula to find the area of a triangle is A = (1/2) x base x height
Now plug in the information you know.
A = (1/2) x 16 x 8
A = 64 inches
