Solution
In sailboat,
Area of a triangle = `1/2` × Base × Height
In ΔABC, ∠B = 90°, base (BC) = 10.9 m and height (AB) = 19.5 m
Area of ΔABC = `1/2 xx 10.9 xx 19.5`
= `212.55/2`
= 106.275 m2
In another triangular part,
Area of ΔDEF = `1/2 xx DF xx EH`
= `1/2 xx 23.9 xx 8.6`
= `205.54/2`
= 102.77 m2
Area of sailboat = 106.275 + 102.77 = 209.045 m2
