Question

The solid edges below form the triangle. The dashed lines are just there to help us find the height.

Area inside the solid lines=

Answer 1

Answer: 96 in squared.

First find the area of the whole triangle:

= 1/2(24+6)(8)

= 1/2(30)(8)

= 120

Then, find the area of the triangle formed by dotted lines:

= 1/2(6)(8)

= 24

Subtract the two areas:

= 120 - 24

= 96
