Answer:
I think its C
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply the 2 numbers together than divide by 2
7 1/2 = 15/2
12 2/3 = 38/3
15/2 * 38/3 = 570/6 =95
95/2=47.5 square feet
Let's say you are walking down the street and you see a lemonade stand. One of the workers tell you that if you buy a lemonade you will have to buy 5 times that amount to sit down and a lemonade cost $2. you order 2 lemonades. after grabbing your drink you feel like sitting down. so you go up to the stand and and attempt to purchase a seat.
5($2x2)=x
(THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE)
The formula for the area of a triangle is (1/2)bh = A
when we plug in the numbers, we get (1/2)(3x-1)x = A
using the distributive property we get (1.5x - .5)x = A
Then its 1.5x^2 - .5x = A
then if we factor out 0.5x we get 0.5x(3x-1) = A
then with the zero product property, 0.5x can equal 0 and x would need to equal 0.
if 3x-1 = 0 , then 3x = 1 then x = 1/3. so our answer would be 1/3 I'm pretty sure because a length cannot be 0
