Find the area. the figure is not drawn to scale.

96

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the Pythagorean Theorem we can find the side of one triangle and use that to find the area of the whole rectangle..

So we know that leg 1 is 8 and the hypotenuse is 10 so in order to find leg 2 we need to use ....Where b is the side we are trying to find

So by plugging in 10 for c and 8 for a because c is the hypotenuse and a is leg 1 we get..

Now you do the math

Now with that information, you know that leg 2 or the shorter side is 6 inches

So, you add 8 and 8 because the height together is 16 then you multiply by 6 and you get 96 for the area of the entire rectangle

Hope this helps and isnt too much information :)
