A shape is made of 12 right triangles of equal size. Each right triangle has a base of 4cm and a height of 5cm. What is the tota
1 answer:
Answer: 120 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by finding the area of one triangle
The formula for finding the area of a triangle is
Where
A is the area
h is the height (5 for this)
and b is the base (4 for this)
Let's sub in our values and solve.
Since there are 12 triangles in the shape we must multiply our area for one triangle by 12 to find the total area of the shape
12×10=120

2 ways: Easy and hard
Hard=A
Easy=B
A: 1/2x+4 work from there so we do fun stuff with it make something that can be simplified so 1/2x+4 times (2/2)=x+8 now square the whole thing and put the result in a square root thingie (x+8)^2=x^2+16x+64
multiply the whole thing by 4/4 and put ![\sqrt{16} [\tex] on top so then [tex] \sqrt{x^2+16x+64}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%7B16%7D%20%5B%5Ctex%5D%20on%20top%20so%20then%20%0A%5Btex%5D%20%5Csqrt%7Bx%5E2%2B16x%2B64%7D%20)

=
to solve it, factor out the 16 in the square root and then square root 16 to get 4
then it will be (4 times square root of equation)/4=square root of equatio
factor square root of equation and square root it and get x+8
divide by 2 to get 1/2x+4
B: 1/2x+4
put stuff that cancels out
1/2x+3x-3x+4+56-56
move them around
3 and 1/2x-3x+60-56
or
2x-3x+1 and 1/2x+30-20+30-36
then just add like terms to solve
