Answer:
58.6.....................
You found CD from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...
... CD = √(5² -2²) = √21
Since triangle ADC ~ triangle ACB, the ratios of corresponding sides are the same:
... AC/AD = AB/AC
... AB = AC²/AD
... AB = 5²/2 = 12.5 . . . . . . . the base of the overall triangle
_____
Then the area (A) is ...
... A = (1/2)bh
... A = (1/2)(12.5)(√21) ≈ 28.64 square units
_____
As you see here, the altitude of a right triangle divides it into three similar triangles. From smallest to largest, they are ...
... ADC ~ CDB ~ ACB
You can figure this using AAA similarity, since the smallest and largest triangles listed above share an acute angle vertex (∠A). That, together with the right angle, means all angles are congruent. After that, then you know ∠ACD ≅ ∠CBD, so you can show the middle sized triangle is similar to the other two.
AC = 8.9
BC = 6.5
(90% angle)
8.9 x 6.5 = <span>57.85
57.85/2 = 28.925
Area of ^ABC = 28.925 cm squared
DE = 55.1
55.1/ 11.02 = 5
DEF is 5 times as big as ABC
DF = 44.5
FE = 32.5
44.5 x 32.5 = 1446.25
1446.25/2 = 723.125
I am not positive but I believe DEF = 723.125 cm squared
Good Luck on the Test!! :D

It’s 39 yards squared because the rectangle is 24+15 which is the triangle
