Answer:
168 meters squared
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the triangle is A= 1/2 b*h. Here this area is 21 meters squared. The sides of the triangle have been multiplied by 4. This means, if the base was b, it is now 4b. This also means, if the height was h, it is now 4h. So the area is A= 1/2 4b*4h = 1/2 (16bh) = 8bh.
So the area of the larger triangle will be 8 times bigger.
21*8 = 168
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is called a 'System of equations'.
Say that you have these two expressions, and the unknown is "b".
5b = y
4b+2 = y
Now we can solve two ways; graph it or solve it.
Solving it, we can see that they both equal y, so:
5b=4b+2
move 4b to the left side by subtraction:
(5b-4b) =2
b = 2
let's see what y equals when b = 2
5 * 2 = y
10 = y
Graphing it we see they intersect, or solve at
(2,10) or b=2, y=10
Hope this helps!
