Solution
In sailboat,
Area of triangle = `1/2` × Base × Height
In ΔABC, AB = 8.9 m and BC = 3 m.
Area of ΔABC = `1/2 xx BC xx AB`
= `1/2 xx 8.9 xx 3`
= `26.7/2`
= 13.35 m2
In another triangular part,
Area of ΔDEF = `1/2 xx DF xx EG`
= `1/2 xx 25 xx 12.4`
= 155 m2
In another triangular part,
Area of ΔDEH = `1/2 xx DE xx EH`
= `1/2 xx 9.6 xx 16.8`
= 80.64 m2
∴ Area of sailboat = 155 + 80.64 = 235.64 m2
