If we were to foil
after experieence

we know
ax²+bx+c=0

and
in form
(ax+b)(cx+d)=0
if we expand it, we get
acx²+bcx+adx+bd=0
or
(ac)x²+(bc+ad)x+(bd)=0
compare to
ax²+bx+c=0
we notice that the middle terms (x terms) are

b=(bc+ad)
so

in form
(2x-1)(1x+5)
b=bc+ad=(-1*1+2*5)=-1+10=9

b=9
or you could just expand it

Find the area of a triangle with a =33, b =51, and c =42.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

d. 690.1 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can use the Heron's formula to calculate the area of the triangle, which is:

$K=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$

Where:

$s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}$

2. Calculate $s$ :

$s=\frac{33+51+42}{2}\\s=63$

3. Substitute values into the formula shown above and calculate the area, as following:

$K=\sqrt{63(63-33)(63-51)(63-42)}\\K=690.1units^{2}$

4. Therefore, the area is 690.1 units².

The diagonals of a kite separate the quadrilateral into four congruent triangles

statuscvo [17]

<span>If the sum of two of the sides congruent to each other are greater than that of the sides opposite them, then no. If however the kite forms a rombus ot square, the diagnoles will form four congruent triangles with the base of both being the line of symmetry.
hope this helps :)</span>
