To find the area of the inverted triangle, we need to first find the base and height of the triangle. The base is 20.3 cm and the height is 6.2 cm.
Therefore, the area of the inverted triangle is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 20.3 * 6.2 = 63.13 cm².
The closest answer choice is 62.93 cm².
Therefore, the correct answer is: 62.93 cm²
