Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

It is NOT a RIGHT triangle so you <u>cannot use</u> 1/2 b * h

but you can use Heron's Formula

Area = sqrt( s (s-a)(s-b)(s-c) )

s = semi- perimeter = (3+6+7)/2 = 8

Area = sqrt ( 8 ( 8-3)(8-6)(8-7) ) = sqrt ( 80) = 8.9 cm^2

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shows two similar triangles. Thus, the side lengths of similar triangles are proportional to each other. Therefore:

$\frac{24}{24 - 15} = \frac{x}{x - 25}$

$\frac{24}{9} = \frac{x}{x - 25}$

Cross multiply

$24(x - 25) = 9(x)$

$24x - 600 = 9x$

Subtract 24x from each side

$- 600 = 9x - 24x$

$- 600 = -15x$

Divide both sides by -15

$40 = x$

x = 40
