What is the area of KDL to the nearest tenth of a square inch? Use special right triangles to help find the height. Show your work

8

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 45-45 traingle which mean that the two sides that aren't the hyptonouse are equal (because their angles are equal)

We will let x equal the length of one of the sides

we have

x²+x²=(4√2)²

2x²=32

x²=16

x=4

this means that the length of the two missing sides are 4

Now using the area of a traingle formula we can solve for the area

A=.5*b*h

.5*4*4=8

.5*4*4

4 and 5)16.97 or 12√2

6)15.59 or 9√3

7)y = 15.59 or 9√3     x =27

8)17.80
