A blue parachute that falls 12 feet in 6 seconds
If B is the midpoint of AC, then AB = BC.
We have AB = x + 5 and BC = 2x - 11.
Therefore we have the equation:
x + 5 = 2x - 11 <em>subtract 5 from both sides</em>
x = 2x - 16 <em>subtract 2x from both sides</em>
-x = -16 <em>change the signs</em>
x = 16
Put the value of x to the expression x + 5:
AB = 16 + 5 = 21
<h3>Answer: AB = 21</h3>

Given:
In the given ΔXYZ,
Base = 22
Height = 23.1
Also,
Base = 31.9
Height = 15.9
To find the area of the given ΔXYZ.
Formula
The area of a triangle is

where, b be the base and
h be the height.
Now,
Taking, b = 22 and h = 23.1 we get,
sq unit
Again,
Taking,
b = 31.9 and h = 15.9 we get,
sq unit
Therefore,
We can find the approximate area of the triangle by following two expression
a)
and
b)
