Question

What is the area of triangle ABC?

Answer 1

Hi @Itsyacoolgrl

We know that the area of a triangle is given with this equation.

\[Area (Triangle) = 1/2 * Base * Height\]

That being said, your diagram doesn't have a length given for the base.

Are you familiar with the pythagorean theorem?

Answer 2

Yes a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Answer 4

@Itsyacoolgrl

That's good, what you need to do is use the pythagorean theorem to find the length of the base.

If you notice, your diagram can easily be split down the middle into two different triangles like so

Do you think you are able to use the pythagorean theorem to find the missing side lengths?
