What is the area of a triangle that has a base of 5 feet and a height of 12 feet

Mathematics

Hey there!

When we do the area of a triangle, we use the formula:

A = bh/2

With b as the base and h as the hight.

We'll get to why this formula works in a minute. If we plug in our given values into this formula, we get:

A = (5)(12)/2
A = 60/2
A = 30 feet squared

The reason why this formula works is simple. When you think of a triangle, do you ever think of it as half a rectangle? When we do the area of a rectangle, we sort of do base times height- we just do length times width. We find the area of the triangle as if it's a rectangle, and just divide it by 2 because it's half of a rectangle.

Hope this helps!

How do I know when a dog is pregnant
chubhunter [2.5K]
PHYSICAL changes.
In the final third (weeks 6-9) of pregnancy, the dog’s belly becomes rounded and distended. Her mammary glands start to develop and become more obviously swollen, as they get ready to produce milk.
Behavioral changes.
APPETITE changes.
Towards the end of pregnancy, the dog’s will womb grow larger and take up more space in her belly. She won't be able to accommodate large meals, so she'll start wanting to snack, eating a little at a time more frequently.
NESTING
Watch for nesting. When it is nearly time for her to deliver the pups, the dog may start to nest. [3] She will gather blankets or clothing in a secluded place as she prepares a suitable safe warm environment for her imminent new arrivals.
The exact timing of nesting varies from 2-3 weeks to 2 - 3 days prior to giving birth.

A population of 1200 rabbits increases by 2.5% each year. At the end of 5 years, there will be approximately 1,358 rabbits in th
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer: y= 1200 (1.025)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential growth function:

A = P (1 + r) t  

Where:

p = original population

r = growing rate (decimal form)

t= years

A = population after t years

Replacing with the values given:

1200= 1200 (1+ 2.5/100)^5

1200= 1200 (1+ 0.025)^5

1200= 1200 (1.025)^5

For the number of rabbits, y, at the end of t years

y= 1200 (1.025)^t

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
