Question

Work out the area of the triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

62.8

Step-by-step explanation:

So, keep in mind that the area of a triangle is equivalent to: 1/2(b)(h) with b being your base and h being your height.

We have our base: 10, and our angle: 105. Now we need to find our height. You don't just have to look at a triangle the way that it's oriented in the problem. Rotate it so that 10cm is at the bottom, and it will be much easier.

From there, you can create a right triangle and draw a line from the top of the triangle straight to the base. Then, you have a right triangle, where you can solve the height, and then plug your answer into the area formula. Further steps are detailed in the picture.
