144.5

Step-by-step explanation: It would be 144.5 because you use the side lengths to plug into the formula for finding an area of a triangle (base multiplied by height multiplied by half.) so : 17 x 17 x 1/2

The answer is 125.1 in.^2.

I used a calculator to determine the height of the triangle and then used the formula to find the area of a triangle, 1/2*base*height.
