Mathematics
1 answer:
riadik2000 [5.3K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = 5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

5x:8 = 7:2

First, find the relationship between 2 and 7.

2 x 3.5 = 7

Since the ratios are equal, this means:

8 x 3.5 = 5x

Solve algebraically. First simply 8 x 3.5

5x = 28

Divide both sides by 5

x = 5.6

Find the area of a triangle whose sides are 3cm,6cm and 7cm
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

It is NOT  a RIGHT triangle so you <u>cannot use</u>   1/2 b * h

 but you can use Heron's Formula

Area = sqrt( s (s-a)(s-b)(s-c) )

s = semi- perimeter =   (3+6+7)/2 = 8

Area = sqrt ( 8 ( 8-3)(8-6)(8-7) )   = sqrt ( 80) = 8.9 cm^2
