Please help. I am getting in trouble so please try to be correct...
1 answer:
Answer: The answer is A 17in2
Step-by-step explanation:
In the question it states that the triangles are congruent (both the same).
first I found the area of the top orange triangle.
the formula to find the area of a triangle is (base times Height).
so I did which gave me 8.27.
Since the triangles are congruent (the same) they would both have the same area along with base and height. so I multiplied 8.27 by 2 (because there are two triangles) and got 16.54 which rounds up to 17.
the question also stated to find the APPROXIMATE area (close to the actual, but not completely accurate or exact.)

Explanation:
Using technology (such as Geogebra), first construct a line segment. Name the endpoints C and D.
Construct the perpendicular bisector of this segment. Label the intersection point with CD as B, and create another point A above it.
Measure the distance from C to B and from B to D. They will be the same.
Measure the distance from A to B. If it is not the same as that from C to B, slide A along line AB until the distance is the same.
Using a compass and straightedge:
First construct segment CD, being sure to label the endpoints.
Set your compass a little more than halfway from C to D. With your compass set on C, draw an arc above segment CD.
With your compass set on D (the same distance as before) draw an arc above segment CD to intersect your first arc. Mark this intersection point as E.
Connect E to CD using a straightedge; mark the intersection point as B.
Set your compass the distance from C to B. With your compass on B, mark an arc on EB. Mark this intersection point as A.
AB will be the same distance as CB and BD.
