Answer:

Area of triangle = 144 ft²

Step-by-step explanation

Using pythagorus theorem, since its a right angle triangle

sin(45) = height / hypotenuse

sin(45) = AC / 24

AC = sin(45)(24)

AC = 12√2

Cos(45) = Adjacent / hypotenuse

Cos(45) = BC / 24

BC = cos(45)(24)

BC = 12√2

Area of triangle = 1/2 Height * Base

Area of triangle = 1/2 AC * BC

Area of triangle = 1/2 ( 12√2 )( 12√2 )

Area of triangle = 144 ft²

So the area of triangle in this figure is 144ft²
