Question
Find the area of the figure.
- 218 sq units
- 216 sq units
- 220 sq units
- 222 sq units
The correct answer is: 216 sq units
216 sq cm
Using Pythagoras theorem, we can calculate the base of the right angled triangle
302 =base2 + 182
Base = = √(900-324) = 24
Area of triangle = ½ x base x height = ½ x 24 x 18 = 216 sq units
