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.

|j|=|2j+3| please help me
Softa [21]
Simplifying
j = (2j + 3)

Reorder the terms:
j = (3 + 2j)

Remove parenthesis around (3 + 2j)
j = 3 + 2j

Solving
j = 3 + 2j

Solving for variable 'j'.

Move all terms containing j to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2j' to each side of the equation.
j + -2j = 3 + 2j + -2j

Combine like terms: j + -2j = -1j
-1j = 3 + 2j + -2j

Combine like terms: 2j + -2j = 0
-1j = 3 + 0
-1j = 3

Divide each side by '-1'.
j = -3

Simplifying
j = -3
