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

Your class raised money by selling hot dogs and hamburgers. Hot dogs were sold for $.50 (fifty cents), and hamburgers were sold
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Number of hot dogs sold =  56

Number of  hamburgers sold = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of hot dogs sold = x

Number of  hamburgers sold = y

We can make equation from given equations:

0.50x+1y=80 (Hot dogs were sold for $.50 (fifty cents), and hamburgers were sold for $1 (one dollar). The total money raised by your class was $80. )

x+y=108  (Together you sold 108 hot dogs and hamburgers.)

Now we cam solve these system of equations to find value of x and y

0.50x+y=80--eq(1)\\x+y=108--eq(2)

Subtract both equations to get value of x:

0.50x+y=80\\x\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\: + y=108\\-\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\: -\:\:\:\:\:\: -\\---------\\-0.5x=-28\\x=\frac{-28}{-0.5}\\x=56

We get value of x = 56

Now putting value of x in equation 2 to find value of y

x+y=108\\56+y=108\\y=108-56\\y=52

So, we get y = 52

Therefore,

Number of hot dogs sold = x = 56

Number of  hamburgers sold = y = 52
