Solution

The problem involves solving a right triangle and calculating its area.

Step 1: Understand the Given Triangle

The triangle is a right triangle with:

  • One angle of 9090^\circ,
  • Another angle of 3030^\circ,
  • The hypotenuse (the side opposite the 9090^\circ angle) is 2525 meters,
  • One leg adjacent to the 3030^\circ angle is 2424 meters.

Step 2: Find the Missing Side Length

Let's denote the sides as follows:

  • aa is the side opposite the 3030^\circ angle,
  • bb is the side opposite the 6060^\circ angle,
  • c=25c = 25 meters is the hypotenuse.

Using the Pythagorean theorem: c2=a2+b2c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Given:

  • c=25c = 25 meters,
  • b=24b = 24 meters,

Substitute the known values: 252=a2+24225^2 = a^2 + 24^2 625=a2+576625 = a^2 + 576 a2=625576=49a^2 = 625 - 576 = 49 a=49=7 metersa = \sqrt{49} = 7 \text{ meters}

So, the missing side aa is 77 meters.

Step 3: Calculate the Area of the Triangle

The area AA of a right triangle is given by: A=12×base×heightA = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} Here, base = 24 meters, and height = 7 meters. A=12×24×7=12×168=84 square metersA = \frac{1}{2} \times 24 \times 7 = \frac{1}{2} \times 168 = 84 \text{ square meters}

Final Answer:

The area of the triangle is 8484 square meters.
