Answer:
A= 75.06 Sq Cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Please refer to the picture attached with this.
In ΔABD
AB = 8.5 , AD = 6 and say BD = x
Applying Pythagoras theorem in this triangle
Pythagoras theorem says
where c is the side opposite to the right angle, and b and a are the other two sides of the right angled triangle.
Hence side
a = 6.02+19
a = 25.02
Now we apply the formula for area of a triangle which is given as
Where b is the base , here we have base as a = 25.02
h is the height , here h = 6
Putting these values in Formula we get
Hence Area of the triangle is 75.06 sq cm
