what is the area of the triangle to the nearest tenth 13m 8m 28 degrees

1 answer

Using the formula for the area of a triangle:

area = (1/2) * base * height

We can first find the height of the triangle by using trigonometry:

sin(28°) = height/13

height = 13 * sin(28°)

height ≈ 6.02

Now we can plug in the values for the base and height:

area = (1/2) * 8 * 6.02

area ≈ 24.1

Therefore, the area of the triangle is approximately 24.1 square meters to the nearest tenth.
