Answer:

60 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the other side length:

8² + x² = 17²

64 + x² = 289

x² = 225

x = 15

Find the Area:

1/2(8 x 15) = Area

1/2(120) = Area

Area = 60

klasskru [66]

Let's first define variables.
y: number of shares of $ 10
x: number of shares of $ 12
We write the system of equations:
10x + 12y = 210
y = 2x + 5
Solving the system:
x = 75/17
y = 235/17
Answer:
