Answer:

B. 992.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Triangle Knowing All Sides:

Sides: 50.000, 60.000, 40.000

Area  : 992.1567

Area of Triangle given by its 3 Sides:

I will show two ways to find the area. One way is very short - The 2000 years old Heron's Formula. The other method may be longer but it's more "educational" as it teaches us important analytic geometry lessons.

But before we even start, we have to verify that the Basic Triangle Inequality is satisfied.

The Basic Triangle Inequality:

The Basic Triangle Inequality states that for a triangle with side lengths a,b,c , the following is true:

    a < b + c,    b < a + c,    c < a + c

What this means, in plain English, is that for any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the remaining side.

Let us now check:

     60.000 < 40.000 + 50.000   true

     40.000 < 60.000 + 50.000   true

     50.000 < 60.000 + 40.000   true

Now that the basic inequalities are satisfied, we know that these three side lengths can make a triangle, so we can move on to calculating the area of said triangle

Heron's Formula for the area of a triangle:

The 2000 year old Heron's Formula states that the area of a triangle whose sides have lengths  a, b,  and  c  is

     SQRT (s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))

where  s  is the semiperimeter of the triangle; that is,

     s = ( a + b + c ) / 2

Let us calculate

Area =  SQRT ( 75.000 • 15.000 • 35.000 • 25.000 ) =

           SQRT ( 984375.000 ) =

           992.1567  

Find area using the Base Height formula:

Let  B  (for base) denote the length of the longest side of the triangle

Let  h  (for height) denote the length of a perpendicular line, from the vertex opposite that side, to the side itself.

Note that  h  splits our triangle into two right-angled triangles, both having  h  as height, the base of the left triangle is denoted by  X  and the base of the right triangle is denoted by  40.000 - X

To find the area of a triangle, multiply the base by the height, and then divide by 2. In algebraic notation, Area  = 0.5 • 40.000 • h   To be able to find the Area, using this formula, we must know the value of  h

Using the Pythagorean theorem to find the Height:

Applying the Pythagorean theorem to the left right-angled triangle we get:

     h2 = (50.000)2- X2  

While the right right-angled triangle is "telling" us that:

     h2 = (60.000)2- (40.000 - X)2  

Two things which are equal to  h2 , are also equal to one another (It is a property of "Equation" that   if z=p and z=q then p=q ):

     (50.000)2- X2 = (60.000)2- (40.000 - X)2  

Expand the above and simplify :

     (40.000)2 + (50.000)2 - (60.000)2 = 80.000 • X

     500.000 = 80.000 • X

     X = 6.250

Plug this for X in:  h2 = (50.000)2- X2  

     h2 = (50.000)2- ( 6.250)2  

     h2 = (2460.938)

h = sqrt (2460.938) = 49.6078  

Put the Triangle Area Formula to use:

Finally put the formula  Area = Base * Height * 0.5   to use:

    Area  = 40.000 • 49.608 • 0.5

    Area  = 992.1567  

Note that this result is identical to the one we got using Heron's Formula !

Area of Triangle Knowing all Sides :

    Sides: 50.000, 60.000, 40.000      Area  : 992.1567

Order the numbers from least to greatest.<br> 1/8, 5/7, 0.35,0.39, 9/10
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

1/8, 0.35, 0.39, 5/7, 9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

1/8 = 0.125

5/7 = 0.714

0.350

0.390

9/10 = 0.900

now let's order them from least to greatest:

0.125 , 0.350 , 0.390 , 0.714 , 0.900

= 1/8, 0.35, 0.39, 5/7, 9/10

if you have trouble with these types of problems change them all into decimals which will make things easier!

How do you get an equation to solve for all 3 sides of a triangle?
slavikrds [6]

In your solving toolbox (along with your pen, paper and calculator) you have these 3 equations:

1. The angles always add to 180°:

A + B + C = 180°

When you know two angles you can find the third.

 

2. Law of Sines (the Sine Rule):

Law of Sines

When there is an angle opposite a side, this equation comes to the rescue.

Note: angle A is opposite side a, B is opposite b, and C is opposite c.

 

3. Law of Cosines (the Cosine Rule):

Law of Cosines

This is the hardest to use (and remember) but it is sometimes needed  

to get you out of difficult situations.

It is an enhanced version of the Pythagoras Theorem that works  

on any triangle.

With those three equations you can solve any triangle (if it can be solved at all).

Six Different Types (More Detail)

There are SIX different types of puzzles you may need to solve. Get familiar with them:

1. AAA:

This means we are given all three angles of a triangle, but no sides.

AAA Triangle

AAA triangles are impossible to solve further since there are is nothing to show us size ... we know the shape but not how big it is.

We need to know at least one side to go further. See Solving "AAA" Triangles .

 

2. AAS

This mean we are given two angles of a triangle and one side, which is not the side adjacent to the two given angles.

AAS Triangle

Such a triangle can be solved by using Angles of a Triangle to find the other angle, and The Law of Sines to find each of the other two sides. See Solving "AAS" Triangles.

 

3. ASA

This means we are given two angles of a triangle and one side, which is the side adjacent to the two given angles.

ASA Triangle

In this case we find the third angle by using Angles of a Triangle, then use The Law of Sines to find each of the other two sides. See Solving "ASA" Triangles .

 

4. SAS

This means we are given two sides and the included angle.

SAS Triangle

For this type of triangle, we must use The Law of Cosines first to calculate the third side of the triangle; then we can use The Law of Sines to find one of the other two angles, and finally use Angles of a Triangle to find the last angle. See Solving "SAS" Triangles .

 

5. SSA

This means we are given two sides and one angle that is not the included angle.

SSA Triangle

In this case, use The Law of Sines first to find either one of the other two angles, then use Angles of a Triangle to find the third angle, then The Law of Sines again to find the final side. See Solving "SSA" Triangles .

 

6. SSS

This means we are given all three sides of a triangle, but no angles.

SSS Triangle

In this case, we have no choice. We must use The Law of Cosines first to find any one of the three angles, then we can use The Law of Sines (or use The Law of Cosines again) to find a second angle, and finally Angles of a Triangle to find the third angle.
