Answer:
The difference between the area of the original triangle and the area of the new triangle is .
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the area of a triangle () is:
Where:
- Base, dimensionless.
- Height, dimensionless.
The expression for each triangle are described below:
First Triangle (, )
Second Triangle (, )
The difference between the area of the original triangle and the area of the new triangle is:
x³ - x²y
x²(x - y) ← multiply each term in the parenthesis by x²
= x³ - x²y
x= -7/2
