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

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).

MrRa [10]
Below is the solution:

<span>Using 2 equations:
Quantity: c + p = 10 lbs
Value::: 5.6c + 2.3p = 3.29*10 dollars

</span><span>Multiply thru the Quantity Eq. by 560
Multiply thru the Value Eq. by 100

</span><span>560c + 560p = 5600
</span><span>560c + 230p = 3290

</span><span>Subtract and solve for "p":
330p = 2310
p = 7 lbs (amt. of peanuts needed)

</span><span>Solve for "c" using c+p = 10
c + 7 = 10
c = 3 lbs (amt. of cashews needed)</span>

henry rented a truck for one day. there was a base Fee of $18.95, and there was an additional charge of $.79 for each mile drive
crimeas [40]
<h3>Henry drove the truck for 208 miles</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Base fee = $ 18.95

Additional charge of $.79 for each mile driven

Let "x" be the miles driven

Henry had to pay $183.27 when he returned the truck

Therefore,

Cost for rent = base fee + charge for "x" miles

183.27 = 18.95 + 0.79x

0.79x = 183.27 - 18.95

0.79x = 164.32

Divide both sides by 0.79

x = 208

Thus Henry drove for 208 miles the truck
