The length of the shortest side is DC

<h3>How to determine the shortest side?</h3>

As a general rule in triangle;

The smallest angle in a triangle is opposite the shortest side.

Similarly, the largest angle in a triangle is opposite the largest side.

From the given figure of triangles, the smallest angle is angle CBD with a measure of 47 degrees.

The side opposite this angle is side length DC

Hence, the length of the shortest side is DC

The floor of a trianaglular room has an area of 32 1\2 sq. M. If the triangle altitude is 7 1\2 m weite an equation to determine

dezoksy [38]

<span>You must follow the proccedure shown below to solve this problem:

You have that the floor of a triangular room has an area of 32 1\2 m</span>²<span> If the triangle altitude is 7 1\2 m. Then, you have:

A=32 1/2 m</span>²=32.5 m²
h=7 1/2 m=7.5 m

Now, you can calculathe b as below:

A=bxh/2
b=Ax2/h

When you substitute the values, you obtain:

b=32.5 m²x2/7.5 m
b=65 m²/7.5 m
b=8.66 m

The base of a triangle exceeds the height by 7 feet. If the area is 114 square feet, find the length of the base and the height

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Height of the triangle = 12 feet

Base of the triangle = 19 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the triangle be x feet

-> Base of the triangle = (x + 7) feet

$A(\triangle)= 114\: ft^2$
