To find the area of a right triangle, you can use the formula:
Area = 0.5 * Base * Height
In this case, the two sides provided (16.5ft and 17.3ft) are likely the base and height of the right triangle. To determine which is the base and which is the height, we can look at the length of the sides of the triangle.
Since the side lengths are very similar (16.5ft and 17.3ft), we can assume that they are the two shorter sides of the right triangle, and one of them is the base while the other is the height. Let's say that 16.5ft is the base and 17.3ft is the height.
Now, we can calculate the area of the right triangle:
Area = 0.5 * 16.5ft * 17.3ft
Area = 0.5 * 285.45 ft^2
Area = 142.725 ft^2
Therefore, the area of the right triangle is 142.725 square feet.
A right triangle has a side of 16.5ft and a side of 17.3 ft
area=__ft^2
