Answer:

Area of the triangular top is 208 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

We have, the triangular top has dimensions,

Base = 26 inches

Height = 16 inches.

As, area of a triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times Base\times Height[/tex]

So, Area of the top = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times 26\times 16[/tex]

i.e. Area of the top = [tex]\frac{416}{2}[/tex]

i.e. Area of the top = 208 in²

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