Find the area of the shaded triangle below.

A = 12 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Triangle = base * height / 2

The triangle might look weird and doesn't look like it has a base, but if you look at the left side you see there is a straight line which means there is a base, so we flip the picture until we see that the flat line on the bottom or the base.

The base is 4 units.

To find the height, we don't need a straight line, we just need to see how the tall the triangle is, to do that you must start from the lowest point and count up to the highest point.

You now get 6 units.

A = bh/2

A = 4*6/2

A = 24/2

A = 12 square units

his first public project he is asked to create a small scale drawing. the garden is a right triangle with base 25m and height 30m. are you trying to solve for the last side/hypotenuse? the irrational form of the answer would be 5\sqrt{61}
