A = (1/2) b * h
h = b - 5
42 = (1/2) * b * (b - 5)
42 = (1/2) * b^2 - 5b
multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction (1/2)
2(42) = 2(1/2) *b^2 - 5b
84 = b^2 -5b
Since this is a quadratic equation, subtract 84 from both sides so that it is set = to zero.
b^2 - 5b - 84 = 0
Now factor.
(b - 12)(b + 5) = 0
b - 12 = 0; b = 12
b + 5 = 0; b = -5
You can't have a negative length so the answer is 12m
To check the answer:
A = (1/2) * 12* 7
A = 42 m^2

Find the coordinates of point z such that the ratio of fz to zd is 5;3
Vilka [71]

The point such that the coordinate is 5;3 is (14, 0)

<h3>Midpoint of coordinates using ratio</h3>

The formula for finding the midpoint of a line in the ratio m:n is expressed as:

M(x, y) = {(mx₁+nx₂)/2, (my₁+ny₂)/2,}

Given the coordinate of G and D on the line as G(5, 0) and D(1,0)

Since there is no y-axis, hence;

x = 5(5)+1(3)/2

x = 25+3/2

x = 28/2

x =14

Hence the point such that the ratio is 5;3 is (14, 0)
