You can use Heron's formula to do this  

Area of triangle = sqrt[ s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) ]   where s = half the perimeter of the triangle = 
1/2 * 13+5+9 = 13.5
so required area =  sqrt [ (13.5)(13.5-13)(13.5-5)(13.5-9)]
                            =  16.1  square meters

Basile [38]

Answer:

(E) 0.83

Step-by-step explanation:

We will solve it using conditional probability.

Let A be the event that a TV show is successful.

P(A) = 0.5

A' be event that the show is unsuccessful

P(A') =0.5

Let B be the event that the response was favorable

P(B) = 0.6

Let B' be the event that the response was unfavorable/

P(B') = 0.4

P(A∩B) = 0.5 and P(A∩B') = 0.3

We need to find new show will be successful if it receives a favorable response.

P(A/B) = \frac{P(A∩B)}{P(B)}

           = 0.5/0.6

           = 0.833
