Answer:

\large\boxed{A_\triangle=25\sqrt{15}\ cm^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

The formula of an area of a triangle:

A_\triangle=\dfrac{bh}{2}

<em>b</em><em> - base</em>

<em>h</em><em> - height</em>

<em />

We need a length of a height.

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2

We have:

leg=5,\ leg=h,\ hypotenuse=20

Substitute:

5^2+h^2=20^2

25+h^2=400             <em>subtract 25 from both sides</em>

h^2=375\to h=\sqrt{375}\\\\h=\sqrt{(25)(15)}\\\\h=\sqrt{25}\cdot\sqrt{15}\\\\h=5\sqrt{15}\ cm

Calculate the area:

A_\triangle=\dfrac{(10)(5\sqrt{15})}{2}=\dfrac{50\sqrt{15}}{2}=25\sqrt{15}\ cm^2

The length of the rectangle is 5/6 of inches and the width of the rectangle is 2/15 of inches. What is the area of the rectangle
Inga [223]

Answer:

W = X in.

L = (3x - 6) in.

A = L*W = (3x-6)X = 45,

3x^2 - 6x = 45

3x(x-2) = 45,

x(x-2) = 15,

x^2 - 2x - 15 = 0

(x-5)(x+3) = 0,

x-5 = 0,

x = 5 in.

x+3 = 0,

x = -3.

Solution Set: x = 5, and x = -3.

Select + value of X:

x = 5

W = x = 5 in.

L = 3x-6 = 3*5 - 6 = 9 in.

If you ran exactly one mile, how many feet did you run
elena-s [515]

Solution:

we have been asked to find

If you ran exactly one mile, how many feet did you run.

It mean , we will have to convert miles in feet.

As we know that

1 mile is equivalent to 5280 feet.

Hence , we can use this conversion to get the exact value of miles in feet.

If you ran exactly one mile,it mean you ran exactly for 5280 feet.
