Answer:  using  A= bh/2   THe height is 9.23

Step-by-step explanation:  First, with the Right Angle at the bottom, usr the sides to compute the area:  12*5=60

THen Imagine the side=13 as the base, so you have  b=13 for the formula

use the formula A= bh/2

60 = 13h/2 ==> 2(60) =13h --> 120/13 = h

h = 9.23

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

First you figure out which function your going to use. I notice that from the angle we have 5 which is the opposite side and 23 which is the adjacent side. This means we have to use tangent.

Then set up your equation: tan(x)=5/23. This is because the opposite side is 5 and the adjacent is 23 and it must be set up in that order.

Next get x alone by making the equation: x=tan^-1(5/23).

Then put it into the calculator and round to get 12.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

2 1/2 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

Priya is making 3 loaves of bread, so she will use 7 1/2 cups of flour.

Andre is making 1 loaf of bread, which is 1/3 the amount of loaves Priya is making. So, he will be using 1/3 the amount of flour Priya is using. So all we have to do is take 7 1/2 and divide it by 3:

7.5/3 = 2.5

Andre will use 2 1/2 cups of flour.
