Answer:
A = 35 units
Explanation:
The variable "b" represents the length of the triangle's base and "h" represents the highest height of the triangle. The area of a triangle can be determined using the formula:
A = 0.5bh
The area of the top triangle (including the isosceles triangle and the orange triangle) is:
A = 0.5 x (14 units) x (3 units + 5 units)
A = 56 units
The area of the isosceles triangle is:
A = 0.5 x (14 units) x (3 units)
A = 21 units
Thus, the area of the orange triangle is the area of both triangles minus the area of the isosceles triangle.
A = 56 units - 21 units
A = 35 units
