Answer: 7 Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we were provided with the height of the triangle which is 12 Inches and the subsequent area which is 42, and the question was to find the base of the triangle. One of the formula for the area of a triangle is the:1/2(b*h).

From here,we substitute h for the value 12 and we will have 1/2(b*12)=84.Cross multiply and we have something looking like this:12b=84,then divide both sides by 12 and we have our answer as 7 inches.

Does a triangle with side lengths 7, StartRoot 80 EndRoot, and StartRoot 31 EndRoot from a right triangle?

AlladinOne [14]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The sides we have are 7, $\sqrt{80}$ , and $\sqrt{31}$ .

The square root of 80 is less than 9 but greater than 8 (because $8^2$ is 64, $9^2$ is 81, and 80 is in between those two values), and the square root of 31 is definitely less than the square root of 80.

So, $\sqrt{80}$ is the longest side.

1) The square of $\sqrt{80}$ is: $(\sqrt{80} )^2=80$

2) The sum of the squares of the two shorter sides is:

$7^2+(\sqrt{31} )^2=49+31=80$

3) Since the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides, by the Pythagorean Theorem, the triangle is a right triangles.

Hope this helps!
