A scalene triangle contains three unequal in length sides. Therefore, a right scalene triangle can be constructed without the use of a ruler or compass. The 90-degree angle can be signified by a small box in the corner of the triangle that measures 90 degrees.

Hi!
Let's take a look at the equation:
F = C + 32
What do we notice?
C and F are both variables.
Variables are unknown numbers represented by a letter.
In this case, C and F are the variables.
Hope this helps!

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: b = 4, h = 13
Discussion:
For a triangle with base b" and height "h, the area formula is
A= (1/2)bh.
In our case A = 26, h = 5b-7, so
26 = (1/2) b (5b-7). Multiply both sides by 2:
26*2 = b(5b-7) =>
52 = b(5b-7) =>
52 = 5b^2 - 7b => (subtract 52 from both sides)
5b^2 - 7b - 52 = 0. This factors as follows:
(b - 4) (5 b + 13) = 0 (use quadratic formula to find this)
so b = 4 and h = 5b -7 = 5*4 - 7 = 13
Thank you,
MrB
