The science behind how they can fly involves the way they move their wings, and the generation of tiny hurricanes that lift them upwards.
+2668 When graphed, the triangle looks like this:
The triangle has a height of \(8 \over 5\) and a base of \(16 \over 3\). This means that the area of the triangle is \({{{8 \over 5} * {16 \over 3}} \over 2} = {4 {4 \over 15}}\).
