PLZ HELP DUE TODAY ILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF U GIVE AN EXPLANATION What is the area of the shaded region of the right triangle below?

A. 25 m
B. 353 m
C. 225 m
D. 15 m

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

C. 225 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Through observation, you can see the first side of the triangle is 8 and the hypotenuse is 17.

From here, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find x.

Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c²

(with a and b being side lengths, and c being the hypotenuse length)

So, if you plug your values in, you get: x² + 8² = 17²

Next, solve for x:

x² + 8² = 17²

x² + 64 = 289

x² = 225

x = 15

Now that you have x you can solve for the area of the shaded region, which would be base time height, or 15 × 15.

You should get 225 m as your final answer.
