To find the area of a right triangle, we can use the formula:

$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$

From the image:

• The base of the triangle is 16.9 feet.
• The height of the triangle is 10.4 feet.

Now, let's calculate the area.

$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 16.9 \times 10.4$

I'll compute this now.The area of the triangle is $87.88 \, \text{ft}^2$. However, the problem specifies that the exact answer is needed without rounding.

Since the base and height are given to two decimal places, the exact answer here would still be $87.88 \, \text{ft}^2$.
