In this problem, we need to plug in the given x values for

and find a and b.
When we plug in 1, we get:

Simplify:



We got our first statement about the values of the variables. If we find one more we can find those 2 variables.
We have another given root: 4.
Plug it in:




Now we have our second one. We can combine them:

I use elimination method which is easier here.
Multiply the top equation by -1:

Add them up:

Simplify:

Now we have a, we can plug in one of those equations to find b:



So, the answers are

and

.

Answer:60m^2
Step-by-step explanation:you have to find the height of the triangle first which is easy bc it’s been split in half so the are now two right triangles. use the pythagorean theorem to determine the height, the height is 12, the formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2bxa and half of the base is already given to you, 5 so 5 x 12 equals 60
