Well, you really need to think on this one. The shorter piece can be four inches long. See, when you multiply four by two, you get eight. And when you add four and eight together, you get twelve inches, which is one foot.

The stick is L feet long

the2 pieces aer x and y
x=2y
x+y=L
sub 2y for x
2y+y=L
3y=L
divide by 3
y=L/3

the shorter piece is L/3 feet long if the original stick is L feet long

Find the area of a triangle with a =33, b =51, and c =42.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

d. 690.1 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can use the Heron's formula to calculate the area of the triangle, which is:

$K=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$

Where:

$s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}$

2. Calculate $s$ :

$s=\frac{33+51+42}{2}\\s=63$

3. Substitute values into the formula shown above and calculate the area, as following:

$K=\sqrt{63(63-33)(63-51)(63-42)}\\K=690.1units^{2}$

4. Therefore, the area is 690.1 units².
