Answer 1

26in*16in/.5=208

208in2

Answer 2

Area of the triangular top is 208 in²

Explanation:

We have, the triangular top has dimensions,

Base = 26 inches

Height = 16 inches.

As, area of a triangle =
`(1)/(2)* Base* Height`

So, Area of the top =
`(1)/(2)* 26* 16`

i.e. Area of the top =
`(416)/(2)`

i.e. Area of the top = 208 in²

Hence, the area of the triangular top is 208 in².
