Answer:

Area of triangle is 1 inches²

Explanation:

We are given:

Base of triangle = 16 inches

Height of triangle =
$(1)/(8) \:$ inches

We need to find:

Area of triangle

The formula used to find Area of triangle is:

$Area \:of\: triangle=(1)/(2)* b * h$

where b is base and h is height.

Putting values and finding area:

$Area \:of\: triangle=(1)/(2)* 16 * (1)/(8)\\ Area \:of\: triangle=(16)/(16)\\ Area \:of\: triangle=1\:inches^2$

So, Area of triangle is 1 inches²
