Find the area of the shaded part of the triangle below. Round to the nearest tenth if needed.

Answer:
212.5
Step-by-step explanation:
For triangles, A = (bh)/2
You can do 15+25 to find the base, which is 40. From here do 17*40/2. You get 340. However, you need to remove the right triangle on the left side.
Again do 17*15/2, which you get 127.5.
From here subtract 127.5 from 340 and get 212.5
