Answer:

Area = 60.0 units²

Explanation:

First, let's find the height of the triangle using Pythagorean Theorem:

Height = √(11² - 8²)

= √57

Height = 7.5 (nearest tenth)

✔️Find the area:

Area = ½*base*height

Base = 2*8 = 16

Height = 7.5

Plug in the values

Area = ½*16*7.5

Area = 60.0 units² (nearest tenth)
