What is the area of a triangle for one of the legs being 3in and the hypotenuse being 9in

elena55 [62]

The area of a triangle for one of the legs being 3 inches and the hypotenuse being 9 inches is 12.727 square inches

Solution:

Given that to find area of a triangle for one of the legs being 3 inches and the hypotenuse being 9 inches

From given information,

Let "c" = hypotenuse = 9 inches

Let "a" = length of one of the leg of triangle = 3 inches

To find: area of triangle

The area of triangle when hypotenuse and length of one side of triangle is given:

$A = \frac{1}{2} a \sqrt{c^2 - a^2}$

Where, "c" is the length of hypotenuse

"a" is the length of one side of triangle

Substituting the given values we get,

$A = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times \sqrt{9^2 - 3^2}$

$A =\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times \sqrt{81-9}\\\\A =\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times \sqrt{72}\\\\A =\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 8.48528\\\\A = \frac{1}{2} \times 25.45584\\\\A = 12.727$

Thus area of triangle is 12.727 square inches

H(x)=2x-4/3 o h^-1(x)= 3x-12/2 o h^-1(x)= 3/(2x-4) o h^-1(x)= 3x+4/2

Fed [463]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{h^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{3x+4}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$h(x)=\dfrac{2x-4}{3}\to y=\dfrac{2x-4}{3}\\\\\text{Exchange x to y and vice versa}:\\\\x=\dfrac{2y-4}{3}\\\\\text{Solve for y:}\\\\\dfrac{2y-4}{3}=x\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 3}\\\\2y-4=3x\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\\\2y=3x+4\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\y=\dfrac{3x+4}{2}$

So all the items are half price. Then what is the half of 3?

3/2 = 1.5 because 1.5 + 1.5 = 3.

So the jacket was sold for $1.5.

P.S.: Why is the jacket so cheap?
