Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
yesssss
Let
x,y, and z the long sides of the triangle
we know that
x+y+z=170 ft------> equation 1
x/y=25/14----> y=14x/25------> equation 2
y/z=14/12-----> equation 3
x/z=25/12----> z=12x/25------> equation 4
substitute equation 2 and equation 4 in equation 1
x+[14x/25]+[12x/25]=170------> multiply by 25 both sides
25x+14x+12x=4250
51x=4250
x=4250/51
x=250/3
y=14x/25------> y=(250/3)*(14/25)----> y=140/3
z=12y/14-----> (140/3)*12/14----> z=40
Using Heron's formula,
Area of the triangle = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
where s is the semiperimeter
s=170/2-----> s=85 ft
Area=√85*[85-250/3]*[85-140/3]*[85-40]
Area=9.22*[1.67]*[38.33]*[45]------> Area=26558.21 ft²
the answer is
26558.21 ft²
First isolate y
3x + 2y = 14
-3x -3x
2y = -3x + 14
y = -3/2x + 14/2
y = -3/2x + 7
X-intercept is found when y = 0
0 = -3/2x + 7
-7 = -3/2x
x = 14/3
x-in. = (14/3,0)
