What is the area of the triangle the front bottom base is 12 m and the left side length is 16.9 m what is our total area?
To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) x base x height
In this case, the front bottom base is 12 m and the left side length is 16.9 m. To find the height of the triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem:
height^2 = (left side length)^2 - (front bottom base/2)^2
height^2 = 16.9^2 - (12/2)^2
height^2 = 285.61 - 36
height^2 = 249.61
height ≈ 15.79 m
Now, you can calculate the area of the triangle:
Area = (1/2) x base x height
Area = (1/2) x 12 x 15.79
Area ≈ 94.74 m^2
Therefore, the total area of the triangle is approximately 94.74 square meters.
