Answer:
The area of the triangle on the flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina is [tex]144.5\ cm^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The triangle on the flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina is a yellow isosceles right triangle that represents the approximate shape of the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina
The area of the triangle is
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]
so
If the triangle is an isosceles right triangle
then
[tex]h=b=17\ cm[/tex]
substitute
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}(17)(17)=144.5\ cm^{2}[/tex]
