Question

The triangle is 24ft tall and the hypotenuse is 26ft, how do you find the area?

Answer 1

Find area of triangle ABC.B = 90; hypotenuse AB = 26; AC = 24

Explanation:

`cos A = 24/26 = 0.923 --> sin A = sin 22.62 = 0.38`

Base CB = `a = 26(sin A) = 26(0.38) = 10`

`Area : (10(24))/2 = 120 sqft`
