Question

How do I find the area of this?
FAN & MEDAL TO BEST ANSWER

Answer 1

Multiply the width times the height the divide by two I believe

Answer 2

Since they do not give you the base length aka width I have no clue?

Answer 3

I have no Idea either :/ @Zack_

Answer 4

ok.... the base of the right triangle can be found by using pythagoras' theorem

you are finding a shorter side... call it b

so the theorem says

\[b^2 = 17^2 - 8^2\]

solve for b.

when you get the base, you can then find the area... using

\[A = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height\]

hope it helps
