Answer:

The answer is b = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle= 1/2 × b × h

A = 21, h = 7, b = ?

21 = 1/2 × b × 7 (multiplying through)

21 = 7b/2

Cross multiply

2 × 21 = 7b

42 = 7b

b = 42/7

b = 6

Answer:

b = 6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

Given the area = 21ft^2

Height = 7ft

Base = ?

Using the above formula

21 = 1/2 x b x 7

21 = 7b/2

Cross multiply

7b = 21 x 2

7b = 42

Divide both sides by 7

7b/7 = 42/7

b = 6ft

The length of the base is 6ft

Use triangle ABC below to answer the question that follows:
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: Choice 1) The sum of the angles A and B are supplementary to angle C


Why is this the answer? Because we'll use facts 2 through 4 to help prove the triangles similar. If fact 2 is true, then fact 3 leads to helping set up the congruent corresponding angles (either A = D or C = E). Fact 4 is true because all angles are congruent to themselves, and this fact is the other angle pair we need to prove the triangles similar.


We don't use fact 1 even though it's a true statement. The fact that A+B+C = 180 isn't really useful to compare across two triangles.
