Answer:
The area is 22.5 units
The perimeter is 24.3 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a triangle is A=bh(1/2)
So, base*height (5*9) is 45. Divide that by 2, and you get 22.5.
To find the perimeter, it looks like the triangle is a right triangle. To solve for that, use the Pythagorean theorem formula: a2 + b2 = c2.
5^2+9^2=c^2
25+81=106=c^2
Find the square root of 106
10.2956301
If your teacher usually asks to round, round.
I'll just round to the tenths place. 10.3
Add all the sides: 5+9+10.3
You get 24.3
