Answer:

If both sides are integers, one side will be 4 feet and the other will be 6 feet. The other solution is the symmetrical solution (4 feet instead of 6 feet, and 6 feet instead of 4 feet).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a rectangular blanket, that has a diagonal that measures h=7.21 feet.

The two sides of the rectangle a and b can be related to the diagonal h by the Pithagorean theorem:

a^2+b^2=h^2

Then, we can express one side in function of the other as:

a^2+b^2=h^2\\\\a^2=h^2-b^2\\\\a=\sqrt{h^2-b^2}=\sqrt{7.21-b^2}=\sqrt{52-b^2}

Then, if we define b, we get the value of a that satisfies the equation.

A graph of values of a and b is attached.

If both side a and b are integers, we can see in the graph that are only two solutions: (b=4, a=6) and (a=4, b=6).

The length of the base of a scalene triangle is 22 meters and the height is 14 meters. Find the area of the scalene triangle
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Area is 154 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Well lets think about this

If I take a rectangle and cut it into half diagonally I would get 2 triangles right?

So if I have 2 triangles of the same height and base I can make a rectangle

to find the area of a rectangle I do length times width

So lets take our scalene triangle and multiply our base with its width and then divide by 2

22*14 = 308

308/2 is 154
