A triangle has three sides 35cm 54 cm and 61 cm find its area Also find the smallest of its altitude

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Area of given triangle is 939.15cm² and smallest altitude is 30.8cm

<h3>Solution:</h3>

We are given three sides of a triangle, Let the sides be :

( a ) = 35 cm

( b ) = 54 cm

( c ) = 61 cm

We can find the area of the triangle with its three sides using Heron's Formula

Heron's Formula

Heron's formula was founded by hero of Alexandria, for finding the area of triangle in terms of the length of its sides. Heron's formula can be written as:

$\sf{ \pmb { \longrightarrow \: \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)} }}$

where ( s ) :

$\sf \longrightarrow s = \dfrac{a + b + c}{2}$

Therefore, for the given triangle first we will calculate ( s )

$\begin {aligned}\quad & \quad \longmapsto \sf s = \dfrac{a + b + c}{2} \\ & \quad \longmapsto \sf s = \dfrac{35 + 54 + 61}{2} \\ & \quad \longmapsto \sf s = \dfrac{150}{2} \\ & \quad \longmapsto \sf s = 75cm \end{aligned}$

Now, Area of triangle will be:

$\begin{aligned}&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: A = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)} \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: A = \sqrt{75(75 - 35)(75 - 54)(75 - 61)} \\&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: A = \sqrt{75 \times 40 \times 21 \times 14} \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: A = \sqrt{5 \times 5 \times 3 \times 3 \times 2 \times 2 \times 7 \times 7 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5} \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: A =5 \times 3 \times 2 \times 7 \times 2 \sqrt{5} \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: A =420 \times 2.23 \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \boxed{ \pmb{ \sf A =939.15 {cm}^{2} }} \end{aligned}$

Also, we have to find the smallest altitude, and the smallest altitude will be on the longest side. So,

$\begin{aligned}&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: Area =939.15 \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: \dfrac{1}{2} \times b \times h =939.15 \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: \dfrac{1}{2} \times 61 \times h = 939.15 \\&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: h =939.15 \times \dfrac{2}{61} \\&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: h = \dfrac{1818.3}{61} \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \boxed{ \pmb{\sf \: h =30.79 \: (approx)}} \end{aligned}$

I need help!!! y=x-7 y=6 simplify the answer as much as possible

Alla [95]

Answer:

x=13 and y =6

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x-7

y=6

Substitute y=6 into the first equation

6 = x-7

Add 7 to each side

6+7= x-7+7

13 = x

x=13 and y =6

How do you do (2/3) (-4) (9)

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Since 3 is evenly divided by 9, we can multiply just one term to get a common denominator. Multiply 2 by 3, and get 6, then we multiply 3 by 3 and get 9.
