Answer:

75.06239187

Explanation:

1/2bh= Area of a Triangle

6^2+b^2=8.5^2 because we are missing a side we need to use the pythagorean theorem.

36+b^2=72.25

b^2=36.25

b=6.02

6.02+19= base

25.02

Now area

1/2bh

1/2 (25.02*6)

25.02*6= 150.1247

150.1247/2= 75.06239187 is Area

The above decimals before area are rounded.
