Answer:
45 square units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Applying the pythagoras theorem:
Base of the bigger triangle = =
= 12 units
Area of a triangle is given by × base × height
The area of the bigger triangle is × 12 × 9 = 54 square units.
The area of the smallest triangle is × (12 - 10) × 9 = 9 square units.
The area of the figure( required triangle) is 54 - 9 = 45 square units.
By taking <span>logarithmic of base 10
∴ </span><span>
∴ x log 4 = log 64
∴
note: we don't need to write the base in case of the base =10
∴ The correct choice is
</span><span>x = log base 10 of 64, all over log base 10 of 4</span>
