Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height
Plug in what we know.
78 = 1/2 × b × 9¾
Multilply each side by 2 to get rid of the 1/2...
156 = b × 9¾
Write 9¾ as an improper fraction.
(9¾ = 9 + 3/4 = (9×4)/4 + 3/4 = 36/4 + 3/4 = 39/4)
156 = b × 39/4
Multiply each side by 4...
624 = b × 39
Divide each side by 39...
16 = b
Done! The length of the base of the triangle is <u>16</u> inches.
3 and 2/5 turns into 17/5
1 and 1/5 turns into 6/5
17+6= 23
23/5 simplifies to 4 and 3/5
Point slope form is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
where slope=m
and (x1,y1) is a given point
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope=(6-7)/(-8-(-5))=-1/(-8+5)=-1/-3=1/3
pick any point
(x,y)
(-5,7)
y-7=1/3(x+5) or
y-6=1/3(x+8)
