Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: The quotient is not a number at all. It's simply undefined.

Discussion:

Consider the numbers "a" and "b" and further suppose that

a/0 = b

Multiplying both sides by 0 gives

(a/0) * 0 = b * 0

Cancelling the highlighted 0s gives a = 0!. Something is wrong here as "a" is not equal to zero! The error was produced by assuming the divison by 0 yield a number.

You will encounter this "divide by zero" matter several times in a Calculus courses.

The answer is 19.6 cm^2

you should find the height of the triangle by heron formula: it will be 9.8

so the area is
$(9.8 \times 4 ) \div 2= 39.2 \div 2 = 19.6$

good luck
