Question

Can y’all help me a question 4?!

Answer 1

Answer: 20 square units (choice C)

============================================================

Explanation:

Ignore the portions that are 12 and 13 units long.

The base of triangle ABC is 8 units long. The height is 5 units. The base and height are always perpendicular.

The area is base*height/2 = 8*5/2 = 40/2 = 20 square units

Side note:

You could find the area of triangle ABD, where D is at the 90 degree angle location, and then subtract off the area of triangle ACD. This is a slightly longer approach compared to the first section above.
