Question

Whats the area of the triangle?

Answer 1

Area ≈ 22 in²

Explanation:

Finding ST (Base)

=> Tan 70 =
`(opposite)/(adjacent)`

Where Opposite = ST and adjacent = 6

=> 1.22 * 6 = ST

=> ST = 7.33 in

Now, Finding the area:

=> Area =
`(1)/(2) (Base)(Height)`

Where Base = 7.33, Height = 6

=> Area = 1/2 (7.33)(6)

=> Area = (7.33)(3)

=> Area ≈ 22 in²
