The triangle inequality tells us that the sum of the two shorter sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side.

Here, 21 cm is one of the shorter sides, and x cm must be the length of the other shorter side.

So using the triangle inequality, 
21+x > 2x
or x<21 cm
To the nearest 0.1 cm, the greatest possible length of the longest side (2x) is 2*21-0.1 cm = 41.9 cm < 2x=42 cm.

We break all the bracket out :

-0.75 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

2/5 = 0.4
-3/4 = -0.75
So, we have : -0.75 + 0.4 + 0.4 - 0.75
= (-0.75 - 0.75) + (0.4 + 0.4) = -1.5 + 0.8 = -0.7

What is the area of this triangle?<br><br> A=bh2
Galina-37 [17]
Alright, so you know that the formula for the area of a triangle is a=bh/2 

First start out by identifying your base and height. 

Base is the side that the shape is "standing on", in this case, that would be 9cm. 

Now, the height is the measurement that is perpendicular (90 degrees to the base), which in this case is 12 cm. 

Now, plug these values into your formula 

(12)(9) /2 = 54 cm squared! hope this helps :)
