The base of a triangle is 7 less than twice its height. if the area of the triangle is 102cm^2 find the length of the base

1 answer:

7 0

B=2h-7
Area of a triangle: A=1/2 of bh
replace b with 2h-7: A=(1/2)(2h-7)h=102 => (2h-7)h=204
2h^2-7h-204=0
factor or use quadratic function to solve
h=12
b=2*-7=17

A triangle has vertices at (-4,-6),(3,3), (7,2). Rounded to two decimal places, which of the following is the closest approximat

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Hey there!

The perimeter of the triangle is the distance around it.

We can find the distance of two points using the distance formula, and add up all the distances to find the total distance.

-4, -6 to 3, 3 is 2

3, 3 to 7, 2 is 5

7, 2 to -4, -6 is about 5.4

2+5+5.39=12.4, which is closest to 12.36.

Let me know if this helps :)
