The perimeter of a triangle is 170 ft and the sides are in the ratio of 25:14:12. Find the area of the triangle

Mathematics

using the ratio, the length of the sides are:

25x + 14x + 12x = 170

51x = 170

x = 170 / 51

x = 3 1/3

The lengths of the sides are: 25 * 3 1/3 = 83 1/3 feet

14 x 3 1/3 = 46 2/3 feet

12 x 3 1/3 = 40 feet

Using Heron's formula

the semi perimeter (S) = 170/2 = 85 ft.

The area of the triangle = SQRT(S*(S-83 1/3) * (S - 46 2/3) * (S-40))

= SQRT (85 * (85-83 1/3) * (85 - 46 2/3) * (85-40)

= SQRT (85 * 1 2/3 * 38 1/3 * 45)

= SQRT(244374)

= 494.34 square feet ( round answer as needed).

Wendy already owns 3 necklaces, and addictions necklaces are priced at One for a dollar how much money does when do you need to
zhenek [66]

Answer: $9

Step-by-step explanation: If Wendy wants to own a total of 12 necklaces, that means Wendy wants to buy 9 more necklaces, since she already owns 3. We know that each necklace is a dollar.

So if Wendy buys 9 necklaces for a dollar each, then the total price will be $9 for Wendy to own a total of 12 necklaces.

( 9 x 1 = 9)

Pls answer this questionnnn
pickupchik [31]
Jo makes 170 minutes call. There are 150 free ones
170 - 150 = 20
20 minutes are "what Jo has to pay"
Jo sends 182 texts. There are 150 free ones
182 - 150 = 32
32 texts are "what Jo has to pay"

Monthly charge = 16p, 13p for each extra minute, 15p for each extra text.
13(20) = 260p
15(32) = 480p

480p + 260p + 16 = 740p + 16

740p + 16 is your answer (if p = pounds, add 16 to it, i'm not sure what p                                                  stands for though. If it is cents, divide 100 from                                                740 and take out the p, then add total to 16 to get                                            answer.)

hope this helps
