Answer:

Area = 127.5cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Length of first side = 8 cm

Length of second side = 15 cm

Length of third side = 17cm

To find,

Area of triangle

to find which of the sides is hypotenuse use Pythagorus theorem

hypotenuse² = height² + base²

17² = 8² + 15²

289 = 289

hence 17 is the hypotenuse and other two are height and base

<h2>Area of triangle = 1/2 height * base</h2>

Area of triangle = 1/2 15 * 17

Area of triangle = 1/2 (255)

Area of triangle = 127.5

Using proportions, it is found that his tax rate is of 28.84%.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct(when both increase or both decrease) or inverse proportional(when one increases and the other decreases, or vice versa), can be built to find the desired measures in the problem, or equations to find these measures.

His tax rate is the proportion that the <u>deductions are of the total salary</u>, hence:

12,200/42,300 = 0.2884 = 28.84%.

Hence his tax rate is of 28.84%.
