Answer:
The Area of Δ ABC = 219.13
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The hard part about this problem is finding the area without the height</em>
The formula to do this is Area =
A, B, C represent the sides
S represents (A + B + C)
In this equation, we will make the base be A, and the other two sides will be B and C
<u>Sides B and C are the same length</u> because they meet at a 90° angle
Lets plug the numbers into the variables
A = 28
B= 21
C= 21
<u>Remember:</u> S represents (A + B + C)
S = (28 + 21 + 21)
S = (70)
S = 35
<em>Lets plug the numbers into the Area Formula now!</em>
Area =
According to the order of operations, we need to do the calculations in parentheses <u>first</u>
35 - 28 = 7
35 - 21 = 14
35 - 21 = 14
14 x 14 x 7 = 1372
1372 x 35 = 48020
= 219.13
The Area of Δ ABC = 219.13
