A=12bh so you would use the Pythagorean theorem (A^2+b^2=C^2) to solve for the bottom which is the base and then multiply that by the height which is 8.1.... does that help.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i mean A=(1/2)bh
OpenStudy (ammarah):
i thought the height is 5.9
OpenStudy (ammarah):
and i dont get the pythagorean theorem

is the missing side the same length as the side that says 2.8? does it say that in the question?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if not you would consider that side to be x.
or B in this situation.
