What is the area of abc below? if necessary, round your answer to two decimal places.

Our goal is to find the area
area=1/2 times base times height
we know the height is 7.9 but what is the base?

use the pythagorean theorem twice
alrighty
so
remember for legs length a and b and hytponuse c in a right triangle
a²+b²=c²

we need AD and DC

so
AD²+7.9²=9.4²
AD=√25.95

DC²+7.9²=23.2²
DC=√475.83

so
AD+DC=base=(√25.95)+(√475.83)
area=1/2bh
area=1/2((√25.95)+(√475.83))(7.9)
area≈106.28518654591426812803776879893
round to 2 decimal places
area≈106.29 square units

The answer to that is 6
