This is an equation, you can't write equations as decimals. I think you're asking for x (as a decimal)?

Add 8 to each side: 4+8= 8+(-8)+3x
12=3x
x=4
This is a whole number so it's already in decimal form

Find the area of a triangle formed by placing the vectors [3, 6] and [7, 1] tail-to-tail.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a. $A=10u^{2}$

b. View graph

c. 6.40u

Step-by-step explanation:

knowing that the triangle area is equal to base by heigh between two, then:

$A=\frac{bh}{2}=\frac{5*4}{2}=10u^{2}$

The length of the longest altitude of your triangle is:

$c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}=5^{2}+4^{2}=25+16=41\\ c=\sqrt{41}=6.40u$

finally it can be seen that the position of the triangle does not matter, as long as the base and heigh are maintained, the area of the triangle will be the same
