Answer:

1)   55.4

2)  To find the area of the triangle, I first needed to find the height. I used the Pythagorean Theorem to find that the height was 4[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] in. Then, I used the formula for the area of the triangle, which is [tex]\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex], to find that the area is [tex]\frac{1}{2} (8)(4\sqrt{3)}[/tex], or [tex]16\sqrt{3}[/tex]. [tex]16\sqrt{3}[/tex] rounded to the nearest tenth is about 55.4 square inches.
