Vocaloid · Answer

Notice how the left and right triangles are right triangles. You can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the height of the triangle. You have the hypotenuse 17 and the leg 8, so you’d plug in those and solve for the missing leg.

From there, you can calculate the area of the two triangles with (1/2) * base * height. Multiply by 2 since there are two triangles.

Finally, add the area of the middle rectangle (length * width)
