Answer:
D - 192
Step-by-step explanation:
So the solve this, lets use the formula for area of a triangle:
b*h / 2 = A
b is the base, h is the height.
In this case, our base is 32, and our height is unknown.
To find it we must use pythagreons theorm:
a is half of the base in this case, since tecnically this iscoceles traingle(2 same sides) cut in half is 2 right triangles.
32/2 = 16
b is the unknown, and C is the hypotenuse(longest length) which is 20:
So we know b, whihc is our height, is 12.
Plugging this in:
32*12 / 2 = A
384 / 2 = A
192 = A
So the area of the triangle is 192.
Hope this helps!
