Any more info? Or angles given?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theres a right triangle on the outside and a smaller triangle on the inside

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does it say that the small one cuts the top angle in half? Or that it's isosceles or anything else?

im lost

Sorry. We need a little more info to find the area of the small triangle. The area of the big one is 5 x 3.3 divided by 2 = 8.25, but we need some more info to find the area of the smaller one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats all thats given

Wow. I don't think it can be solved unless we have more info--even if it just said the little triangle was isosceles or cut the top angle in half or gave an angle measurement or something. --??? Sorry.
