Answer:
1. Use the Adjacent and opposite side (Ignore the Hypotenuse)
Or use HERO'S FORMULA based on the information given
2. Area = 216cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
There are three to four ways we can go about finding the area of a triangle. And a these would be dependent on the information given about the triangle.
From the question, you said the three side lengths are given. In such case, we employ the HERO FORMULA.
HERO FORMULA:
Area = √ s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
where s = 1/2(a + b + c)
a, b, c are the three sides
But since the question insisted that we use 1/2* base * height. Let's use our know of right angle to dissolve that.
A right angle triangle has three sides. The longest is always the Hypotenuse.
Let's take it this way.
Hypotenuse = 30cm
Opposite= 18cm
Adjacent = 24cm
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 * 18 * 24
Area = 1/2 * 432
Area = 216cm^2
We ignored the longest side, (the Hypotenuse)
Answer:
s = 10w
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the equation in <u>slope-intercept form</u> which is y = mx + b. The variables mean:
"b" - for the y-intercept (where the graph hits the y-axis)
"m" - for the slope (how steep the line is)
"x" and "y" - coordinates that satisfy the equation (points on the line)
From the graph, we can see that the y-intercept is 0. b = 0, therefore we do not need to write it in the equation.
To find the slope, "m", use the equation 
. To use it, substitute the coordinates for two points. Using the diagram, choose a point 1 and a point 2.
Point 1 (0, 0) x₁ = 0 y₁ = 0
Point 2 (1, 10) x₂ = 1 y₂ = 10
Substitute values
Subtract to simplify
Simplify the fraction
m = 10 Slope of the line
Since we know "m" and "b", we can write the equation:
y = mx + b
y = 10x + 0
y = 10x
We are not using "x" and "y" in this case. Change them according to the question.
x => w
y => s
y = 10x => s = 10w
<span>3. Two isosceles right triangles
Every square has 4 right angles, so each triangle will have one right triangle, which makes the triangles, right triangles.
They are isosceles because all sides of the square are the same, though the diagonal is not.
Hope this helps :)
