Answer:
Area = 26
Step-by-step explanation:
First you would find the length of the opposite and adjacent side of the triangle, which would be 8 and 9.
Then you would find the area of the triangle.
Right triangle area = Opposite * adjacent / 2
So 8 * 9 / 2 = 36
Then subtract the white area which is 5*2=10 out of the area of the triangle
36 - 10 = 26
26 = shaded area of triangle
