Answer:

1. Use the Adjacent and opposite side (Ignore the Hypotenuse)

Or use HERO'S FORMULA based on the information given

2. Area = 216cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three to four ways we can go about finding the area of a triangle. And a these would be dependent on the information given about the triangle.

From the question, you said the three side lengths are given. In such case, we employ the HERO FORMULA.

HERO FORMULA:

Area = √ s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)

where s = 1/2(a + b + c)

a, b, c are the three sides

But since the question insisted that we use 1/2* base * height. Let's use our know of right angle to dissolve that.

A right angle triangle has three sides. The longest is always the Hypotenuse.

Let's take it this way.

Hypotenuse = 30cm

Opposite= 18cm

Adjacent = 24cm

Area = 1/2 * base * height

Area = 1/2 * 18 * 24

Area = 1/2 * 432

Area = 216cm^2

We ignored the longest side, (the Hypotenuse)

Answer:

n= v

------------------

1.047198r2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Flip the equation.

1.047198nr2=v

Step 2: Divide both sides by 1.047198r^2.

1.047198nr2

1.047198r2

=

v

1.047198r2

n=

Determine whether the lines are parallel or perpendicular or neither. 2x=y−10 and y=−2x
MrRa [10]

Put the first equation in slope-intercept form, or y = mx + b. Start by subtracting y from both sides.

2x - y = -10, subtract 2x from both sides.

-y = -10 - 2x

Divide both sides by negative one.

y = 10 + 2x

To find the slope when the equations are in slope-intercept form you look at the coefficient of x. The first equation has the slope of 2 (which we just found), and the second equation has the slope of -2.

Parallel lines have the same slope and perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes. Since 2 and -2 are neither of these, your answer is neither.

Which number(s) below belong to the solution set of the inequality? Check all that apply.x + 16 &lt; 51.
natta225 [31]
If you subtract 16 on both sides... x will be alone. Therefore 51-16=35
x=35 (B)
