Combine like terms... 2s and 4s are like terms so that's 6s 4,2,3 are like terms add that up its 9. So it would look like this 6s+9
It doesn't matter how far apart just so you know and you answered it 3330 miles apart because you multiply 60 by 50
There are two ways you could go about solving this.
You could divide the length of the base (6mm) by 2 and use that to find the area or you could find the area of the whole triangle using 6mm and divide that by 2.
I will use the first method I described:
base = 6/2
base = 3 mm
height = 5.2 mm
area = bh/2
area = (3 * 5.2)/2
area = 7.8 square mm
(don't forget your units)
Using the other method would look like this:
area = bh/2
b = 6
h = 5.2
area = (6 * 5.2)/2
area = 15.6 square mm
area/2 = 7.8 square mm
As you can see either method yields the same result.
Hope this helped.
Cheers and good luck,
Brian
