Question

Find the area of the triangle below. Show as much work as possible. Label your answer appropriately.

Answer 1

Answer:

$Area=\frac{5}{12}x^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by:

$Area=\frac{1}{2}*base*height$

From the diagram $base=\frac{5}{6}x,and,height=x$

We substitute into the formula to get:

$Area=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{5}{6}x*x$

This implies that:

$Area=\frac{5}{12}x^2$
