Answer:

The height of the triangle is 7cm and the base is 16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we have to know the formula to calculate area of ​​a triangle

a = area = 56

b = base

h = heigth

a = (b * h)/2

we replace the known values and we make 2 equations

56cm² = (b * h)/2

b = h + 9cm

we replace b by (h + 9cm) in the first equation

56cm² = (h + 9cm * h)/2

56cm² * 2 = h² + 9h

0 = h² + 9h - 112cm²

we use bhaskara formula:

(-b (±) √ (b² - 4ac) ) / 2a

we replace with the known values

h = (-9 (±) √ (9² - 4*1*(-112) ) ) / 2*1

h = (-9 (±) √ (81 + 448) ) ) / 2

h = (-9 (±) √529) /2

h = (-9 (±) 23)/2

h1 = (-9 + 23) / 2

h1 = 14 / 2

h1 = 7

h2 = (-9 - 23) / 2

h2 = -32 / 2

h2 = -16

The height of the triangle is 7cm and the base is 16cm

Ivy is running errands for her mother. She bikes along straight paths to the supermarket, the bank, and then back home.Find the
chubhunter [2.5K]

The distance between Ivy's house and the supermarket and the distance between the supermarket and the bank:
H&S = 1,014 M; and S&B = 854m. This is resolved using the Sine Theorem.

<h3>What is the calculation backing the above solution?</h3>

Notice that the Angles of a Triangle add up to 180° That is

∠A + ∠B  + ∠C = 180°

Thus,

∠C = 180° - 32° - 109°

= 39°

Recall the Sine Theorem which indicates;

a/SinA = b/SinB = c/SinC

thus given that

AC = 1,523m

We have

AC/SinB = BC/SinA


BC = AC/SinB * SinA

= 1523/Sin109° * Sin32°

BC =854m

Therefore

AC/SinB = AB/SinC
Thus,

AB = AC/SinB * SinC

= 1523/Sin109° * Sin39°
AB ≈ 1,014m
