The formula for the area of a triangle is A=1/2*h*b
Therefore:
(1/2)*4*5.5=11
The area of the sail is 11 feet squared

Area of a triangle: (1/2)bh, where b = base and h = height

(1/2) x 4 x (11/2)
= (4/2) x (11/2)
= 2 x (11/2)
= 11

Answer:

Hello,

I have reply too quick in comments (sorry)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}log_x (27)+log_y (4)=5\\log_x (27)-log_y (4)=1\\\end{array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2*log_x (27)=6\\2*log_y (4)=4\\\end{array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}log_x (27)=3\\log_y (4)=2\\\end{array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x^{log_x (27)}=x^3\\y^{log_y (4)}=y^2\\\end{array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}27=x^3\\4=y^2\\\end{array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x=3\\y=2\\\end{array}\right.\\\\$

Write the points (-3,5) and (1,1) in slope-intercept form

Jobisdone [24]

Y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yint

find slope
slope between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

given
(-3,5) and (1,1)
slope=(5-1)/(-3-1)=4/-4=-1

y=-1x+b
find b
when x=1, then y=1
1=-1(1)+b
1=-1+b
add 1
2=b

y=-x+2
