Find area of non right triangle. B-10 top right of triangle is 8 and the left side is also 8
To find the area of a non-right triangle, we can use the formula:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
In this case, the base of the triangle is 10 (the length of the bottom side), and the height can be found by dropping a perpendicular line from the top right corner to the base. This forms a right triangle with the height as one of the legs, the base of the larger triangle as the hypotenuse, and the perpendicular line as the other leg.
Since the top right of the triangle is 8 and the left side is also 8, the height can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem:
Height^2 + 8^2 = 10^2
Height^2 + 64 = 100
Height^2 = 36
Height = 6
Now we can calculate the area of the triangle:
Area = 1/2 * 10 * 6
Area = 30
Therefore, the area of the non-right triangle is 30 square units.
