Answer:

Area of DEF = 30.22 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find the ratio of sides of the triangles

    \frac{6}{4.5}=\frac{4}{3}

    \frac{10}{7.5}=\frac{4}{3}    

    \frac{12}{9}=\frac{4}{3}

So DEF is a similar triangle to ABC with proportion \frac{4}{3}

If the sides are in a proportion m their areas are in proportion m²

 Area of DEF =\left ( \frac{4}{3} \right )^2\times Area of ABC

Area of DEF =\left ( \frac{4}{3} \right )^2\times 17

Area of DEF = 30.22ft²

In order to get the area of a triangle using sides, the formula that we are going to use is Heron's formula. This is after from "Hero of Alexandria".
So here is the step by step process:
First, we calculate for s (half of the triangles perimeter) s = a+b+c divided by 2.
s = 6 + 10 + 12 / 2
s =28/2
s = 14
Now that we have the s, we can now calculate for the area.
A = square root of s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
A= square root of 14 x 8 x 4 x 2
A= square root of 896
A = 29.93
The area of triangle DEF is 29.93 square feet or 30 square feet. Hope this answer helps.

Area = Length * Width
A = 1/2 * 3/4
A = 3/8

In short, Your Answer would be 3/8 Ft^2

Zielflug [23.3K]
Use a^2 + b^2 = c^2

the triangle must be isosceles because the two angles are the same

1.2^2 + 1.2^2 = x^2
1.44 + 1.44 = x^2
2.88 = x^2
x=6√2/5
or
x ≈1.69706

Carina spent a total of $5.27 buying a pineapple for $3.40 and several pounds of tomatoes that were on sale for $0.85 per pound.
gulaghasi [49]
Okay so I'm going to set up a equation:

5.27= 3.40+ 0.85x, we have our total our price of one pineapple and our variable

next I isolate the variable:

5.27-3.40=0.85x

next:

1.87=0.85x

x= 2.2

she bought 2.2 pounds of tomatoes

A fine fabric was selling for $10.50 per half yard. Joni bought 2 1/3 yards. How much did he spend? Brainliest for correct answe
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

45.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would find 1/3 third of 10.50 and it is 3.5, you would then do 10.50 x 4 since it said 10.50 per half a yard, so you would do times 4 and you would get 42, you would then add 42 + 3.5 which equals 45.5.
