A company makes triangular plates for individual slices of pizza. For each plate, the base is 5 inches and the height is 16 inches. The area of the top of the plate is ____ inches squared.

Respuesta :

To find the area of a triangle, the equation is 1/2(base • height)

So let's plug in the specific values for this equation:
1/2(5 • 16)
1/2(80)
= 40

This means that the area of the top of the plate is 40 inches squared.

Hope this helps!
