Hello!

To find the area of a triangle, first multiply the base by the height. Afterwards, divide the product by 2.

Base: The bottom side of the triangle.
Height: The distance from the bottom to the top of the triangle.

Base = 13
Height = 18.2

13 × 18.2 = 236.6

Now we do the final step, which is to divide by 2.

236.6 ÷ 2 = 118.3

118.3 is your answer.

But why do we divide the product of the base and the height by 2? This is because a triangle is recognized as half of a rectangle/square.

I think it should be 118.3 the equation is base times height divided by two equals the area

Ricardo has 16 golf balls, to begin with. He started out with 16, and lost 6, 16 - 6 = 10. He bought 12 golf balls, 10 + 12 = 22. He lost 4 golf balls, 22 - 4 = 18. So in the end, he has 18.

What is the x-intercept of the equation whose line is 3x + 10y = 36?

vladimir2022 [97]

For this case we have the following linear equation:
$3x + 10y = 36
$
The intersection with the x axis occurs when the value of y is equal to zero.
We then have to replace y = 0 in the equation:
$3x + 10 (0) = 36
$
Rewriting:
$3x + 0 = 36

3x = 36$
Clearing x we have:
$x = 36/3

x = 12$
Answer:
The x-intercept of the equation whose line is 3x + 10y = 36 is:
x = 12
