To determine the area of a triangle, we calculate one half of the product of the base and the height of the triangle so we need data on its base and its height. We are given the following:

Hypotenuse = 7 + base = 14 + height
Perimeter = 84 inches

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to the sum of the three sides of the triangle which are the height, base and hypotenuse. So,

Perimeter = height + base + hypotenuse = 84

We let x = height and y = base. We calculate area as follows:

84 = x + y + (7 + y)
77 = x + 2y
x = 77 -2y

Hypotenuse is related to the other sides by the Pythagorean theorem.

Hypotenuse^2 = (x^2 + y^2)
(14 + x)^2 = x^2 + y^2
(14 + (77-2y))^2 = (77-2y)^2 + y^2
(91-2y)^2 = (77-2y)^2 + y^2

Solving for y and x
y = 28
x = 21

Area = (28)(21) / 2 = 294 square inches

Fareed wants to add 1/4 +5/8 Add the fractions by using the giant one to create a common denominator
saul85 [17]

Hi!

This question is about math.

\frac{1}{4}+\frac{5}{8}

<u><em>Least Common Factor 4 or 8: 8</em></u>

<u><em>Factors of 4 : 1, 2, 4 (prime factorization) (2*2)</em></u>

<u><em>Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8 (prime factorization) (2*2*2)</em></u>

<u><em>Least Common Factor of a,b is the smallest positive number that divisible by both a and b.</em></u>

<em>Multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either 4 or 8.</em>

<em>Then multiply by the numbers.</em>

2*2*2

=8

<em>Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its corresponding denominator to turn it into the Least Common Factor of 8.</em>

<em>For 1/4 multiply the denominator and numerator by the 2.</em>

\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1*2}{4*2}=\frac{2}{8}

\frac{2}{8}+\frac{5}{8}

<em>Since the denominator are equal, combine the fractions.</em>

\frac{2+5}{8}

<em>Add the numbers 2+5=7</em>

=\frac{7}{8}

Hope this helps! Thank you for posting your question at here on Brainly. Have a great day.

And slope of the linear equation y+8=3(x−5)<br> ?
Triss [41]

Answer:

slope:  3; vertex:  (5, -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare the given y+8=3(x−5) to the slope-vertex form y - k = m(x - h).  We see that the slope, m, must be 3 and the vertex must be (h, k):  (5, -8).
