Question

Help with this I don't know how to solve

Answer 1

Answer:

86.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Triangle Formula: A = 1/2bh

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

Step 1: Draw altitude and label numbers

If we draw a line down the middle, we can see that we get a perpendicular bisector and that we get 2 right triangles with a hypotenuse of 29 and a leg of 3. We need to find h using Pythagorean Theorem in order to use area formula:

3² + b² = 29²

b² = 29² - 3²

b = √832 = h

Step 2: Plug in known variables into area formula:

A = 1/2(√832)(6)

A = 3√832

A = 86.5332
