Divide the perimeter by 3 to find the side length.
Since the formula for the are of a triangle is
1/2 * b * h the height must be found.
If a perpendicular line is drawn from the apex of the triangle, a right triangle is formed with a base of 5 and a hypotenuse of 10. Also since it originally was equilateral the base angle is 60 degrees. The rules for finding lengths of sides of equal. Triangles is long leg = sqrt3 * short leg
the height is the long leg so the height is 5sqrt3.
A=(1/2)(10)(5sqrt3)= 25sqrt3

Use the method of ELIMINATION to solve the system. You must SHOW ALL WORK. Make sure you have an answer for both x and y.

Answer:

<h3>Required <u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

$\sf 4x+8y=10\dots\dots (1)$

$\sf -4x+2y=-30\dots\dots (2)$

by adding eq (1) and eq (2) we get

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf 4x+8y=20$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf -4x+2y=-30$

<h2>__________________________</h2>

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf 10y=-10$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf y={\dfrac {-10}{10}}$

${:}\longrightarrow$ ${\underline{\boxed{\bf y=-1}}}$

Substitute the value in eq (2)

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf -4x+2 (-1)=-30$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf -4x-2=-30$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf -4x=-30+2$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf -4x=-28$

${:}\longrightarrow$ $\sf x={\dfrac {-28}{-4}}$

${:}\longrightarrow$ ${\underline{\boxed{\bf x=7}}}$

$\therefore$ ${\underline{\boxed{\bf (x,y)=(7,-1)}}}$
