Answer:

<h2>54m²</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>METHOD 1:</h3>

You can use the Heron's formula:

A=\sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)}

where

<em>p</em><em> - half of perimeter</em>

<em>a, b, c</em><em> - lengths of sides</em>

We have

a=12m;\ b=15m;\ c=9m

Calculate:

p=\dfrac{12+15+9}{2}=\dfrac{36}{2}=18\ (m)\\\\A=\sqrt{18(18-12)+(18-15)(18-9)}\\\\A=\sqrt{(18)(6)(3)(9)}\\\\A=\sqrt{2916}\\\\A=54\ (m^2)

<h3>METHOD 2:</h3>

Let's check that it is not a right triangle.

If the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides is equal to the square of the longest side, then this triangle is rectangular.

We have

9m < 12m

Check:

9^2+12^2=81+144=225\\15^2=225

This is a right trianglr wherew 9m and 12m are legs and 15m is a hypotenuse.

The formula of an area of a right triangle is:

A=\dfrac{ab}{2}

<em>a, b</em><em> - legs</em>

Substitute:

A=\dfrac{(9)(12)}{2}=\dfrac{108}{2}=54\ (m^2)

Solve the following system of equations.<br> 2x + 5y = -18 and y = -4x
andriy [413]

Answer:

x=1 and y= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

step one: plug -4x into y in thi]e first equation.

2x+5(-4)= -18

step two: solve for x

2x-20= -18

(add 20 to both sides to eliminate -20 on the right)

2x=2

(divide both sides by 2 to get x by its self)

x=1

step 3: now that we found the value for x plug it in to either equation and solve for y

y= -4x

y= -4(1)

y= -4

lesya [120]

In total, they would need 4 pumps. If we divide 55 by 17, we get just more than 3. This little more would need an entire pump. So the answer 4 total, 3 added
