The area of any triangle is (1/2) x (length of the base) x (height) .
In this problem, we know the triangle's height,
but what is the length of the base ?
The base is the side that the triangle is sitting on. This particular triangle
is an equilateral one, and its perimeter is 60m. So each side must be 20m.
No matter which side the triangle is sitting on, the length of the base is 20m.
Area = (1/2) x (base) x (height)
Area = (1/2) x (20m) x (17.3m) = <em>173 m²</em>
the 2nd expression is the answer
Answer:
It is C. Linear pairs make a 180 degree turn. Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
I like the substitution method. Which is when you make one equation equal only x or y and plug it into the other equation)
There is also the graphing method. If you graphed it, it might not be quite as accurate (at least on hand, on computer you would be pretty exact)
Then there is the elimination method. You multiply one of the equations by a coefficient so that you can eliminate x or y from the equation.
