Set f(b) = b^2 - 75 = to 0 and solve for b:
b^2 = 75
b^2 = 25(3)
b = plus or minus sqrt(25[3]) = plus or minus sqrt(25)*sqrt(3) = plus or minus 5 sqrt(3).
Let
x,y, and z the long sides of the triangle
we know that
x+y+z=170 ft------> equation 1
x/y=25/14----> y=14x/25------> equation 2
y/z=14/12-----> equation 3
x/z=25/12----> z=12x/25------> equation 4
substitute equation 2 and equation 4 in equation 1
x+[14x/25]+[12x/25]=170------> multiply by 25 both sides
25x+14x+12x=4250
51x=4250
x=4250/51
x=250/3
y=14x/25------> y=(250/3)*(14/25)----> y=140/3
z=12y/14-----> (140/3)*12/14----> z=40
Using Heron's formula,
Area of the triangle = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
where s is the semiperimeter
s=170/2-----> s=85 ft
Area=√85*[85-250/3]*[85-140/3]*[85-40]
Area=9.22*[1.67]*[38.33]*[45]------> Area=26558.21 ft²
the answer is
26558.21 ft²
I count 4 green stars and 6 red stars
ratio of green to red would be
4 green : 6 red
4:6
if you divide both numbers by 2, cause theyre both even
2:3
You would multiply the tanks by gallons
36x205
= 7,380
