What’s the area of this triangle?
1 answer:
Answer:
26.75
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two ways to do this. You can use the base*height/2 formula for the area of the triangle, or use the complex formula of determining triangle area without height.
The first is A=(b*h)/2
In this case you need to find the height using a²+b²=c²
Take your base (7.6) and divide it by 2 this will give you the bottom side of your triangle (3.8) now plug this, and the side value of 8 into the formula. Remember c is the hypotenuse (diagonal side) and x is the height.
3.8²+x²=8²
14.44+x²=64
x²=49.56
x=7.039 -now you have the height for the triangle and can use this to find the area
A=b*h (in this case we dont have to divide by two since we need two triangles because we split the original in two to find the base of 3.8)
so it's 3.8*7.039=26.75
(If you need more help look up Silicon Valley High school's video titled, "How to find the area of a triangle (without the height)"
It will teach you the formula which teaches you to find the area of any triangle when all you are given is three sides

The easiest answer I know is if you swap the s with
s, then there will be two equations called parabolas. They open upward if the value is positive and open downward if the value is negative. If the exponent is 2, then it's a parabola. If it's 3, then it's a cubic function, because cube is for "3". Square is for "2". If you look at both parabolas, you can see that
is wider than
.
So the best answer I can think of is She made a mistake because the parabola on the 10x² graph is wider than the (5x)² graph. Also, it's because 5x and 10x are not the same thing. When an x value increases, the graph is narrower.
