<u>The correct answer is  </u><u>8.5 in.</u>

<h3 /><h3>What is Heron's formula in math?</h3>
  • Heron's formula, formula credited to Heron of Alexandria for finding the area of a triangle in terms of the lengths of its sides.
  • In symbols, if a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides: Area = Square root of√s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c) where s is half the perimeter, or (a + b + c)/2.

we know that

The formula of area of triangle is equal to

             A = \frac{1}{2} (b) (h)

We have

b = BC = 6 in

h = AD = x in

substitute

A = \frac{1}{2} (6) (x)

A = 3x^{2}   in^{2} ..................(1)

Heron's Formula is a method for calculating the area of a triangle when you know the lengths of all three sides.  

Let  a,b,c be the lengths of the sides of a triangle.  

The area is given by:-

A = \sqrt{p(p-a) (p-b) (p-c)}                     where p is half the perimeter

p = \frac{a +b+ c}{2}

a = 9 in , b= 9 in, c = 6 in

p = \frac{9 + 9 + 6}{2} = 12 in

Find the area

A = \sqrt{12( 12 - 9) (12-9) (12 - 6)}

A = \sqrt{12 (3)(3)(6)}

A = \sqrt{648}

A = 25.46 in^{2}

Substitute the value of the area in the equation 1 and solve for x

A = 3x in^{2}

25.46 = 3x

x = 25.46/3

x = 8.5 in

Which integral gives the area of the region in the first quadrant bounded by the graphs of y^2 = x − 1, x = 0, y = 0, and y = 2?
r-ruslan [8.4K]
Weird that the only choices are given as integrals with respect to x. (Integration along the y axis would be way easier, but whatever)

The fourth option should do it.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a place value problem.

 The given figure is;

                14, 397:

Pronounced as;

Fourteen thousand, three hundred and ninety seven:

          14, 397;

                     10 000     ten thousand

                       4000      four thousand

                          300      three hundred

                            90       ninety

                              7         seven

The place value of 3 is hundreds.
