What is the area of a triangle that has a base of 3 feet and a height of 6 feet?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nitella [24]3 years ago
3 0

The formula of area of triangle is given by

A= \frac{1}{2} b*h

Where b is the base and h is the height .

In the given question, base ,b = 3 feet

Height, h= 6 feet

Substituting the values of b and h in the formula, we will get

A = \frac{1}{2}*3*6 = 9 ft^2

Correct option is C .

A segment with endpoints A(2,6) and C(5,9) is partitioned by a point B such that AB and BC form a 3:1 ratio. Find B​
Aneli [31]

Answer:

The coordinate of point B is (4, 8.25)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the coordinates of point B

To do this, we are to use the section internal division formula as follows;

(x,y) = (nx1 + mx2)/(m + n) , (ny1 + my2)/(m + n)

In this case;

(x1,y1) = (2,6)

(x2,y2) = (5,9)

(m,n) = (3,1)

Substituting these values into the section formula, we have;

(x,y) = (1(1) + 3(5))/(1 + 3) , (1(6) + 3(9))/3 + 1)

(x,y) = (16/4, 33/4)

(x,y) = (4,8.25)

The angle of elevation from me to the top of a hill is 51 degrees. The angle of elevation from me to the top of a tree is 57 deg
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Approximately 101\; \rm ft (assuming that the height of the base of the hill is the same as that of the observer.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the diagram attached.

  • Let \rm O denote the observer.
  • Let \rm A denote the top of the tree.
  • Let \rm R denote the base of the tree.
  • Let \rm B denote the point where line \rm AR (a vertical line) and the horizontal line going through \rm O meets. \angle \rm B\hat{A}R = 90^\circ.

Angles:

  • Angle of elevation of the base of the tree as it appears to the observer: \angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ.
  • Angle of elevation of the top of the tree as it appears to the observer: \angle \rm B\hat{O}A = 57^\circ.

Let the length of segment \rm BR (vertical distance between the base of the tree and the base of the hill) be x\; \rm ft.

The question is asking for the length of segment \rm AB. Notice that the length of this segment is \mathrm{AB} = (x + 20)\; \rm ft.

The length of segment \rm OB could be represented in two ways:

  • In right triangle \rm \triangle OBR as the side adjacent to \angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ.
  • In right triangle \rm \triangle OBA as the side adjacent to \angle \rm B\hat{O}A = 57^\circ.

For example, in right triangle \rm \triangle OBR, the length of the side opposite to \angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ is segment \rm BR. The length of that segment is x\; \rm ft.

\begin{aligned}\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}R}\right)} = \frac{\,\rm {BR}\,}{\,\rm {OB}\,} \; \genfrac{}{}{0em}{}{\leftarrow \text{opposite}}{\leftarrow \text{adjacent}}\end{aligned}.

Rearrange to find an expression for the length of \rm OB (in \rm ft) in terms of x:

\begin{aligned}\mathrm{OB} &= \frac{\mathrm{BR}}{\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}R}\right)}} \\ &= \frac{x}{\tan\left(51^\circ\right)}\approx 0.810\, x\end{aligned}.

Similarly, in right triangle \rm \triangle OBA:

\begin{aligned}\mathrm{OB} &= \frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}A}\right)}} \\ &= \frac{x + 20}{\tan\left(57^\circ\right)}\approx 0.649\, (x + 20)\end{aligned}.

Equate the right-hand side of these two equations:

0.810\, x \approx 0.649\, (x + 20).

Solve for x:

x \approx 81\; \rm ft.

Hence, the height of the top of this tree relative to the base of the hill would be (x + 20)\; {\rm ft}\approx 101\; \rm ft.

What are the units for the variable in the following scenario?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Her grocery bill is $4.62

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to multiply 6 and .43 to get how much it was for all of the apples.

Then the next step is to do the same thing with the oranges.

Then the last step is to add the two together.
