Can you pls help me??????????

A) 32.5 *but there's a typo... it's supposed to be 23.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the whole triangle is 31.5 sq. in. Then, subtracting the area of the cutout (8 sq. in.) from the triangle (31.5 sq. in.) will give you a final answer of 23.5 sq. in. I think the teacher messed up and did 32.5 instead of 23.5
