How do you find the area of a triangle when given only the lengths of three sides?

SashulF [63]

Answer:

Use Heron's formula; see below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Heron's formula.

Let the sides of the triangle have lengths a, b, and c.

$s = \dfrac{a + b + c}{2}$

$area = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$

Example:

A triangle has side lengths 3, 4, and 5 units.

Find the area of the triangle.

$s = \dfrac{a + b + c}{2}$

$s = \dfrac{3 + 4 + 5}{2}$

$s = 6$

$area = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$

$area = \sqrt{6(6 - 3)(6 - 4)(6 - 5)}$

$area = \sqrt{6(3)(2)(1)}$

$area = \sqrt{36}$

$area = 6$

Write an exponential function for the graph that passes through the points (0,4) and (2, 36). Use the formula y=ab^x

fomenos

Answer:

Using the equation y = abx , substitute both of your given points into that equation.

2 = ab2 and 4 = ab3 Solve each equation for a.

2⁄b2 and 4⁄b3 = a Therefore, 2⁄b2 = 4⁄b3

Cross multiply: 2b3 = 4b2 Divide both sides by b2

2b = 4 a = 2/4 = 1/2

b = 2

y = 1 (2)x

Find f(x)=x^2-x^3,find f(-10)

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

f(-10) = 1,100

Step-by-step explanation:

f(-10) = (-10)^2 - (-10)^3

= 100 - (-1000)

= 1,100

if a tree casts an 8 meter shadow, and the angle from the ground to the tree is 30 degrees, what is the approximate height of th

Virty [35]

Using SohCahToa, we can find the height of the tree. Let the tree height be h. 8m is adjacent to the 30° angle.
$\tan(30) = \frac{h}{8} \\ h = 8 \tan(30) \\ h = 4.62$
The answer is A) 4.6 m
