Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The area of a triangle is given by the formula $ \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} $. Given a maximum area of 414 square inches and a base of 18 inches, we can solve for the maximum height (length of the flag). Rearranging the formula to solve for height gives us $ \text{height} = \frac{2 \times \text{area}}{\text{base}} $. Plugging in the given values, $ \text{height} = \frac{2 \times 414}{18} = \frac{828}{18} = 46 $ inches.
