Answer:
864 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the pythagorean theorem to find the missing side.
36²+x²=60² (x is the missing length of the side)
1296 + x² = 3600
x² = 2304
x = 48
Then use the area of a triangle formula: base·height/2
Substituting 36 for the height and 48 for the base, we get:
48·36/2, which is <u>864</u>.
