Find the height of a triangle with area 85 1/3 ft squared and base 10 2/3 feet squared

Lets convert the fractions first:
85 1/3 = 255/3 + 1/3 = 256/3
10 2/3 = 30/3 + 2/3 = 32/3
now, the equation to find the area of a triangle is:
area = height*base/2
so the height is:
height = 2*area/base
then we substitute:
height = 2*(256/3)/(32/3)
= <span>(2*256/3)/(32/3)
</span><span>= (512/3)/(32/3)
</span>now, dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by that fraction upside down:
= <span>(512/3)(3/32)
</span>= (512*3)/(3*32)
= 1536/96
= 16
therefore the height of the triangle is 16 ft

Which could be the length?
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The possible length of the third side = 1 ft, 2 ft, 3 ft, 4 ft, 5 ft, 6 ft, 7 ft, 8 ft, 9 ft, 10 ft or 11 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

two side of the triangle, 6 ft and 6 ft

let the third side of the triangle = x

Apply the rules of length of a triangle to determine the third side of the triangle.

Based on this rule:  (6 - 6)  < x < (6 + 6)

                                    0 < x < 12 ft

Therefore, the length of the third side will be greater than 0 but less than 12 ft

The possible length of the third side = 1 ft, 2 ft, 3 ft, 4 ft, 5 ft, 6 ft, 7 ft, 8 ft, 9 ft, 10 ft or 11 ft

Ket [755]

Answer:

x =20

Step-by-step explanation:

6% of x = 1.2

Change percent to decimal form

.06x = 1.2

Divide each side by .06

.06x / .06 = 1.2/.06

x =20
