Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area if a traiangle =1/2 × base × height

5 1/10 = 1/2 ×3 2/5 ×h

Change mixed fractions to improper fractions

51/10= 1/2 ×17/5 ×h

51/10 = 17/10×h

Divide 51/10 by the coefficient of h

51/10÷17/5 = h

51/10 ×5/17 = h

3/2 = h

h =1 1/2 inchea

The height of the triangle 1 1/2 inches

kondaur [170]

Complete question is;

Andrea is given ABC and told that a² + b² = c². She draws right triangle RTS with legs measuring a and b and hypotenuse measuring 2. Which best describes what Andrea should

do in order to prove that ABC is a right triangle?

Answer:

Andrea should show that c = 2, so: ∡ABC = ∡RTS and ∡C = ∡S. Hence, ∡C is a right angled triangle, hence ΔABC is a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are told that the given sides of the triangle are a, b and c. Now, Andrea is able to draw the two sides of the right triangle with sides = a and b and the third, hypotenuse equal to 2. Since the length of the hypotenuse = 2, then we have;

2² = a² + b²

However, we are told that c² = a² + b²

Therefore, c = 2

Hence, Andrea should show that c = 2 so ΔABC = ΔRTS and ∡C = ∡S hence ∡C is a right angled triangle since it is the angle opposite to the hypotenuse c and therefore, ΔABC is a right triangle.

What is the mean price per pound for each type of produce?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Fruits: 107

Vegetables: 56.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Average is found by adding all of the values together and then dividing by the number of values that there are.

So for fruits, you would do 62+55+49+50+98+328 and then divide that whole thing by six.

Same for veggies, 34+122+57+21+79+26 with the answer divided by six.
