The area $$ A $$ of a triangle is given by the formula:

$$
A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
$$

Substitute the given values: base $$ = 23 $$ in and height $$ = 7 $$ in.

$$
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 23 \times 7
$$

Calculate the product inside first:

$$
23 \times 7 = 161
$$

Now compute the area:

$$
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 161 = 80.5 \text{ square inches}
$$

Thus, the area of the triangle is $$ 80.5 $$ square inches.
The area of the triangle is 80.5 square inches.
