Answer:

1,760m

Explanation:

The side of the smaller triangle is multiplied by 4, which got 44 in the bigger triangle. So you would multiply the base of the smaller by 4 as well, resulting in 80. Now you need to multiply the base and the side of the triangle, and divide that answer by half.

FORMULA FOR A TRIANGLE:

A= 1/2( L x W )

A= 1/2 (44 x 80)

A= 1/2 (3520)

A= 1760

Therefore, the area of the shaded triangle is 1,760m.

SORRY IF THIS DID NOT MAKE SENSE!
