Answer:
A = 1660 [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the sail or a triangle is base times height
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](b x h)
Base is 40 ft (horizontal length)
Height is 83 ft (vertical height)
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](b x h)
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](40 x 83) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](3320) = 1660 [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]
