HELP ASAP PLZ :)
Natalija [7]

for the triangle...

b=2h

a=(1\2).bh=648

(1/2).2h.h=648

h2=648

h-18|2 in

h=36|2 in

for the rectangle...

L=3+w

a=l+w=648

{3+w}w=648

w2+3w-648=0

Only positive W values make sense here..

w-24=0

w=24 in

So..

L=3+24

n the following diagram, points C, A, and B are collinear. Use complete sentences to describe the sum of CA and AB
svp [43]

If point A is between B and C, then CA+AB = CB by the segment addition postulate. This is the idea of taking two smaller segments to "glue" them together to form a larger segment. Or you can think in reverse: take some larger segment and split it somewhere in between the endpoints (not necessarily the halfway point), this will produce two smaller segments.

For example: you have a ruler that is 12 inches. Take a saw and cut the ruler at the "2 inch" marker. You'll end up with two smaller pieces of plastic: one of which is 2 inches, the other 10 inches. The two smaller pieces can be taped together to reform the original 12 inch ruler.
