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

OpenStudy (ammarah):

is the answer 11.3???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5.9 is the hypotenuse hold on let me see if youre right.

OpenStudy (ammarah):

ohk thanks!

OpenStudy (ammarah):

wait would it be 11.4 because it says that all lengths are in centimeters....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (ammarah):

OpenStudy (ammarah):

OpenStudy (ammarah):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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.
