Answer:

27.6 is the area

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the given triangle is equals to [tex]27.6 in^{2}[/tex](round to nearest tenth).

What is triangle?

" Triangle is defined as two dimensional geometrical shape with three vertices, three sides and three angles enclosed in it."  

Formula used

Pythagoras theorem

(Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + (Height)²

Area of a right triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times b\times h[/tex]

[tex]b[/tex] represents the base of the triangle

[tex]h[/tex] represents the height of the triangle

According to the question,

In a given triangle,

Hypotenuse [tex]= 11in[/tex]

Height [tex]= 6in[/tex]

Substitute the value in Pythagoras theorem to get the measure of base,

[tex](11)^{2} = b^{2} + 6^{2}\\\\\implies b^{2}= 121 -36\\\\\implies b =\sqrt{85}[/tex]

Substitute the value in the formula to find area of a triangle,

Area of a triangle [tex]= \frac{1}{2}\times \sqrt{85} \times 6[/tex]

                              [tex]= \frac{1}{2} \times 9.22 \times 6\\\\= 9.22 \times 3\\\\= 27.66[/tex]

                              ≈ [tex]27.6in^{2}[/tex] ( round to nearest tenth)

Hence,  area of the given triangle is equals to [tex]27.6 in^{2}[/tex](round to nearest tenth).
