The base is 3+(x), altitude is x so substitute. Now we know the area of a triangle is base X height X 1/2. Substitute again! 1/2 (3+x)(x)=35. Multiply both sides by 2 to cancel out the 1/2. Now you have (x)(x+3)=70 and you have to foil out the left side x^2+3x=70. Subtract 70 on both sides x^2+3x-70=0. Find two numbers that multiply to -70 and add to 3. Solve (x+10)(x-7)=0. the x value is 7. since you can't have negative length values. Substitute 7 into 3+x for the base so you know the base is 10 and the height is 7.
1) They are carnivores and hunt for food.
2) They are herbivores and eat plants.
3) Some (like the ant) make food by farming.
Answer:
Part A: Triangles GCB and PBE
Part B: They're similar because they have the same internal angles.
Part C:
250/400 = BE/450
112500/400 = BE
BE = 281.25 ft
250/400 = PE/350
87500/400 = PE
PE = 218.75 ft
