Based on the given figure above, in order for us to find the area of the triangle, we need to find the value of the base first. So in finding the base, we are going to use the Pythagorean theorem. a2 + b2 = c2. Substitute the values.
(9.4)^2 + (23.2)^2 = c2
88.36 + 538.24 = c2
626.6 = c2
c= 25.03
Now that we have the base, let us proceed for the Area.
The formula for area would be A = 1/2 (b)(h)
Plug in the values.
A = 1/2(25.03)(7.9)
A= 1/2(197.74)
A= 98.87
Therefore, the area of figure ABC is 98.87.
Hope this answer helps.
