Answer:
86.53
Explanation:
Area of Triangle Formula: A = 1/2bh
Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
Step 1: Draw altitude and label numbers
If we draw a line down the middle, we can see that we get a perpendicular bisector and that we get 2 right triangles with a hypotenuse of 29 and a leg of 3. We need to find h using Pythagorean Theorem in order to use area formula:
3² + b² = 29²
b² = 29² - 3²
b = √832 = h
Step 2: Plug in known variables into area formula:
A = 1/2(√832)(6)
A = 3√832
A = 86.5332
