Answer:8sqrt 2 or sqrt 128
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean Theorem. Since the ladder is leaning against the wall, it is the hypotenuse. It is also 4 feet away from the wall so 12^2-4^2=b^2 b^2=128 so b=8sqrt 2 or sqrt 128.
The area is 2,772 feet
Hope this helps! Good luck on your homework!!!

All you have to do is divide 640 by 11
Answer:
10657.5
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2>
Long way that is unnecessarily long</h2>
We can start by finding the area of the larger triangle. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can say that 251²-105²=the bottom side², and 251²-105²=51976, so the bottom side of the larger triangle is √51976 , or approximately 228. Then, the area of the larger triangle is √51976 * 105/2 = 11969 (approximately). Then, the area of the smallest triangle (the largest triangle - the one that we're trying to find the area of) is 105*(√51976-203)/2 = approximately 1312. Then, subtracting that from the total area, we get (√51976 * 105 - 105*(√51976-203))/2 = 105*203/2 = 10657.5
<h2>Short way</h2>
ALTERNATIVELY, upon further review, we can just see that the height is 105 and the base is 203, so we multiply those two and divide by 2, as is the formula for the area of a triangle, to get 10657.5
