Leanna has a rectangular piece of fabric. The fabric is 24 inches wide and 40 inches long. Leanna folds the piece of fabric along its diagonal to form a triangular scarf. What is the area, in square inches, of the triangular scarf?

1. 8 or -82. 14 or -143. -11, -3, 0, 7, 10

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.
