Chapter 8.6, Problem 62CCR

To determine

Find the area of the figure.

Answer to Problem 62CCR

Area of Triangle ABC is 182 sq in.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The figure: Height = AC = 26 in and Base = BC = 14 in

  

Concept Used:

Triangle ABC is a Right Triangle.

Rule: $\text{Area}\text{of}\text{Triangle}=\frac{1}{2}·\text{base}·\text{height}\text{.}$

Calculation:

Dimensions of ABC: Height = AC = 26 in and Base = BC = 14 in

  $\text{Area}\text{of}\text{Triangle}=\frac{1}{2}·\text{base}·\text{height}\text{.}$

  $\text{Area}\text{of}\text{Triangle}\text{ABC}=\frac{1}{2}·\text{14}·\text{26= 182 sq in }$

Thus, Area of Triangle ABC is 182 sq in.
