The area of a triangle is 1/2 bh
so to find the area of the larger triangle do the following calculation:
1/2 time 12 time 7. that will give you 42 ft squared. that is the larger triangle.
the next way to find the area i will show you is:
pretend that the the triangle is inside of a rectangle. now you have 4 triangles. you know that the base of the rectangle is 15 ft anf the height is 7. now take the smaller triangle and it has its rectangle base 3 and height 7. multiply to get 21 feet squared. divide by 2 since there are 2 triangles in the small rectangle. 10.5 feet squared
Answer:
The flag of Switzerland is square.
Step-by-step explanation:
Only Switzerland has a flag that is square.
The measurements can be anything convenient. The aspect ratio (height to width) is 1 : 1.
When the flag is displayed next to a rectangular flag, it should have the same area as the rectangular flag. (This will mean the Swiss flag side length is the geometric mean of the rectangular flag dimensions.)
_____
Sometimes, the measurements of the flag are chosen to go with the height of the flagpole. The US flag is customarily displayed on a pole 3-4 times as long as the flag is long. That is, the diagonal of the flag is about 0.28 to 0.38 times the pole height.* I could not find comparable information about the Swiss flag.
____
* The diagonal is of interest when the flag is hanging down along the pole, not flying in the wind.
Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=-x^2-10x
Let x = -5
f(-5)=-(-5)^2-10(-5)
= -25+50
=25
