Answer:

<u><em>The area increase by 225%</em></u>

<em><u>Step-by-step explanation: </u></em>

<em><u>attachment of a triangle</u></em>

<em><u>The area of a triangle equilateral is calculated with the next formula:</u></em>

<em><u>A=\frac{a*h}{2}</u></em>

<em><u>h^{2} +(\frac{a}{2})^{2}=a^{2}</u></em>

<em><u>h^{2} = a^{2} - \frac{a^{2} }{4}= \frac{a^{2} }{4}*3</u></em>

<em><u>h=\sqrt{\frac{a^{2}*3 }{4} }</u></em>

<em><u>h=\frac{\sqrt{3}*a }{2}</u></em>

<em><u>replacing in the A equation:</u></em>

<em><u>A=\frac{a*\sqrt{3}*a }{2*2}</u></em>

<em><u>A=\frac{\sqrt{3}*a^{2} }{4}</u></em>

<em><u>Now each side increse by 50% ⇒ a=1.5a</u></em>

<em><u>A= \frac{\sqrt{3}*(1.5a)^{2} }{4}</u></em>

<em><u>A=\frac{\sqrt{3}*a^{2}* 2.25 }{4}</u></em>

<em><u>A=2.25 * \frac{\sqrt{3}*a^{2} }{4}</u></em>

<em><u>It means that the area incrase by 225%</u></em>

Points A,B,C,D, and E are collinear and in that order. Find AC if AE = x+50 and CE = x+32.
goldenfox [79]
If AE is x+50, then the whole thing must be x=50. 
if a portion of that, CE, is x+32, then the rest of it, AC, must be x+18.
Because no matter what X is, 32+18=50.
