Question

What is the area of triangle ABC

Answer 1

Use pythagoras theorem to find AD and DC

Answer 2

Then you will have base AD + DC then you can multiply it by height and divide it by 2 to get area.

Because formula for area of triangle is \(A = \dfrac{1}{2}bh\)

Answer 3

William Shakespeare with sunglasses? lol

Answer 4

i love both shakespeare and sunglasses, so yes :)

Answer 5

for AD i got 5.66 and DC i got 9.75. but what's the height?

Answer 6

yep, so add them together and you will get base.

height is already given. it's 7.

Answer 7

Now you have both base and height, you can apply formula for area of triangle: \(A = \dfrac{1}{2}bh\)

Answer 8

Yess! I got 53.935. Thanks so much :)

Answer 9

welcome :)
