It is 112 square inches.
The area of a triangle is 1/2 times the base times the height. Thus, (0.5)(28)(8) = 112. Note that you can make this a little easier to do mentally if you see that one of the numbers is divisible by two (i.e. even). Because multiplication by 1/2 is equivalent to division by 2, and order doesn't matter for multiplication, you can multiply half of the even number times the other and get the same result. Of course, if both of the numbers are even, you can still only do this to one of them, so pick whichever makes the problem easier.
Note: If this question is from work you have been assigned by a teacher or professor, I suggest you do the work yourself instead of trying to find the answers online. This will help you to better understand the material and become more familiar with it. Of course, if this question was not from homework, you can disregard this message.
