First, we need to find the opposite side.
opposite^2 = 30^2 -27.6^2
opposite^2 = 900 -761.76
opposite^2 = 138.24
opposite side =
11.7575507654
Right Triangle Area = (adj * opp) / 2
Right Triangle Area = (27.6 * 11.758) / 2
Right Triangle Area = 324.51 / 2
Right Triangle Area = 162.25
Answer is 161.7 cm^2
