Question

Luis starts at one corner of a square field and walks 80 feet along one side to another corner of the field. He turns 90° and walks 60 feet, and then walks straight back to where he started. What is the area of the part of the field he walked around?

Answer 1

Triangle Area = ½ * Base * Height.

Since this is a right triangle, pick either as the height and the other as the base.
