Answer 1

13.29 square meters

Explanation:

The two shorter sides of a right triangle have lengths of 9.88 meters and 2.69 meters

Two shorter sides are the base and the height of the right angle triangle

Area of the triangle is 1/2 times base times height

`area= (1)/(2) \cdot 9.88 \cdot 2.69`

Area of the triangle is 13.2886

13.29 square meters
