Answer:
UX ≈ 4.5
△UVW = 49.5 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
[] We can assume that UX is the midline of this triangle.
22 ft / 2 = 11 ft
XW and VX = 11 ft
[] Now that we have 2 sides of a right traingle, we can find the third.
a² + 11² = 12²
a² + 121 = 144
a² = 20
a = about 4.5, which is side UX
[] Since we have all three sides of the triangle, we can also solve for the total triangle's area. To solve for the area of a triangle, we do base times height divided by 2
22 * 4.5 = 99
99 / 2 = 49.5 ft²
Have a nice day!
