Answer:
18617.66 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
sides of triangular base
a= 145ft ,
b = 257ft ,
c = 290ft
<u>calculate the area of the base </u>
The base is a scalene triangle hence the area is calculated as follows
s = ( a + b + c ) / 2
= ( 145 + 257 + 290 ) / 2 = 346
Area of triangle =
= 18617.66 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write our Givens
Move the constant term ,(the term with no variable) to the right side.
Here we have a negative 7, so we add 7 to both sides
Next, we take the linear coeffeicent and divide it by 2 then square it.
Then we add that to both sides
Next, we factor the left,
we got 5 because 5 add to 10 and multiply to 25 as well.
so we get
This is called a perfect square trinomial.
Next, we take the square root of both sides
± menas that we have a positive and negative solution.
Subtract 5 form both side so we get
The greater solution is when sqr root of 32 is positive so the answer to that is
