Find the area of the following shape. Please show work.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle is given by the formula:
● A = (b×h)/2
b is the base and h is the heigth.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Draw the heigth. This gives you two small right triangles.
Let's focus on the right one containing 45°.
● sin 45° = h/8
● h = sin 45° × 8 = 4√(2)
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Replace h by its value in the area formula. The base is 17
● A = (17× 4√(2))/ 2
● A = 34√(2)
● A = 48.08
Round to the nearest unit
● A = 48
Answer:
Area = 48 sq. units
Step-by-step explanation:
will make it short and simple.
area of a triangle = 1/2 * a * b * sinФ
area = 1/2 * 17 * 8 * sin(45°) = 48 sq. units
