Answer:
Area = 32 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that ,
1). an isosceles right triangle with a perimeter of 27 inches
Then the base and height are equal
2). the longest side measures 11 inches
To find the smaller side
Then sum of other 2 sides = 27 - 11 = 16
Base = height = 16/2 = 8 inches
To find the are of triangle
Area = 1/2 * Base*Height
Base = 8 inches and Height = 8 inches
Area = 1/2 * 8* 8 = 32 square inches
