Answer:
1.) 16.5
2.) 24.2 ft
3.) 10.8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) So first you need to use Heron's formula
S = (A + B + C)/2
So
S = (17 + 17 + 8)/2
S = 21
Now
Area =
So
So the Area is equal to 66.1
Now to find the height we use the Area of the triangle formula
A = 1/2 B*H
66.1 = 1/2(8) * H
66.1 = 4H
H = 16.525
So the height of the triangle is 16.5 units tall
2.) For this question you just use the Pythagorean theorem.
a² + b² = c²
So 22² + 8² = c²
484 + 64 = c²
548 = c²
= c
c = 24.1660919472 ft
So the length of the wire is 24.2 ft long
3.) Again this is the Pythagorean theorem.
a² + b² = c²
So 10² + 4² = c²
100 + 16 = c²
116 = c²
= c
c = 10.7703296143 ft
So the length of the banner is 10.8 ft long
