Answer:

B. 150 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Triangle = .5 * Base * height

So we need the height of the triangle, or the missing side.

We have to use Pythagorean Theorem to solve this:

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

15 ^ 2 + B ^ 2 = 25 ^2

b^2 = 25^2 - 15 ^ 2

b^2 = 625 - 225

b^2 = 400

sqrt (400) = 20

The missing height is 20. Now we plug it into 1/2 * b * H

.5 * 15 * 20

7.5 * 20 = 150

Answer: $6+\sqrt{21}\ \text{and}\ 6-\sqrt{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadratic equation is

$x^2-12x+15=0$

Solving by completing the square method

$\Rightarrow x^2-2\cdot 6\cdot x+15=0\\\text{add and subtract 36}\\\Rightarrow x^2-2\cdot 6\cdot x+15+36-36=0\\\Rightarrow x^2-2\cdot 6\cdot x+36+(-36+15)=0\\\text{using}\ (a-b)^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\\\Rightarrow (x-6)^2-21=0\\\Rightarrow (x-6)^2=21\\\Rightarrow x-6=\pm \sqrt{21}\\\Rightarrow x=6\pm \sqrt{21}$
