Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2
Note that the hypotenuse is 11 (for the second right triangle).
Find the length of the dotted line by doing 7^2+b^2=11^2
49+b^2=121, b=[tex]\sqrt{72\\}[/tex].
Now you can the area of the second right triangle: ([tex]\sqrt{72\\}[/tex](7))/2=29.7.
Find the length of the first right triangle:
Note that 9 is the hypotenuse; ([tex]\sqrt{72\\}[/tex])^2+b^2=9^2
=72+b^2=81
b=3.
([tex]\sqrt{72}[/tex])(3))/2=12.7
