Answer:
b. the function is always positive
The area of the triangle can be calculated through the equation,
A = sqrt ((s)(s - a)(s - b)(s - c))
where A is area, s is the semiperimeter ((a + b + c)/2), a, b, and c are the sides given above.
The presented equation above is the Heron's formula.
Substituting the known values,
s = (8.7 + 10.1 + 9.8) / 2
s = 14.3
A = sqrt ((14.3)(14.3 - 8.7)(14.3 - 10.1)(14.3 - 9.8))
<em>A = 38.9 units squared
</em>Thus, the answer to this item is not among the choices. <em>

Answer:
The value of x = 5 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the right-angled triangle ∆ABC with the following dimensions
AC = a = 12
BC = c = hypotenuse = 13
AB = b = x
Pythagorean Theorem
For a right-angled triangle with the sides, a and b the hypotenuse c is defined as:

Thus, using the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the value 'x',

as b = x, so

so


Therefore, the value of x = 5 units.
Subtract the thickness of the known piece from the total thickness.
Because they have different denominators rewrite them to have the same.
9/32 x 2 = 18/64
Now you have 33/64 - 18/64 = 15/64
The other piece is 15/64 inch thick.
The length of the minor arc AB is 6.3cm
