Answer:
The smaller board would be 2.75 feet and the longer one would be 10.25 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find this, assume the shorter board is equal to x. Next, we would know that the longer board would be equal to x + 7.5. Using these two assumptions, we can add the lengths together, set equal to 13 and then solve for x.
x + (x + 7.5) = 13
2x + 7.5 = 13
2x = 5.5
x = 2.75
Now that we have the length of the shorter board, we can add 7.5 to it to get the larger one.
2.75 + 7.5 = 10.25
Answer:
Part 1) 
Part 2) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1)
we know that
The perimeter of triangle is equal to the sum of its length sides
so

Part 2)
we know that
The area of triangle is given by the formula

we have

substitute

Try 8, 7, 4, 1 (I believe that’s the right answer but I’m not sure)
