Answer:
1080 m^2 Don't submit m^2 in your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
The catch is to find h
To do that, use a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a b and c are in the same 1/2 triangle.
a = 48/2 = 24 m
b = h = ?
c = 51 meters
Solution
a^2 + b^2 = 51^2 Substitute for b^2 = h^2
24^2 + h^2 = 51^2 Expand 24^2 and 51^2
576 + h^2 = 2601 Subtract 576 from both sides
h^2 = 2601 - 576
h^2 = 2025 Take the square root of both sides
h = 45
Area
Area = 1/2 b * h
Area = 1/2 48 * 45
Area = 1080
Remark
Notice that to find h you only use 1/2 of 48 because that is the base of the right triangle.
To find the area, you need to use all of 48 because 48 is the full length of the base.
