9514 1404 393
Answer:
(x, y) = (1, 7.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the first equation for y, then substitute into the second equation.
y = 8 -1/2x . . . . . subtract 1/2x
2(8 -1/2x) = x +14
16 -x = x + 14 . . .eliminate parentheses
2 = 2x . . . . . . . add x-14
1 = x . . . . . . . . divide by 2
y = 8 -1/2(1) = 7 1/2
The solution is (x, y) = (1, 7 1/2).

<h3>What is an Equilateral Triangle?</h3>A triangle that has all its three sides equal in length, is referred to as an equilateral triangle.
1. Given the each side measures 2 units, and h is the height, applying the Pythagorean theorem, we would have:
h = √(2² - 1²)
h = √(4 - 1)
h = √3
2. Area of the equilateral triangle = 1/2bh = 1/2(2)(√3)
Area of the equilateral triangle = √3 units²
3. If x is the side length of the equilateral triangle, we would have:
height (h) = √[x² - (x/2)²] = √[x² - x²/4] = √(3x²/4) = √3/2x
Area = 1/2bh = 1/2(x)(√3/2x) = √3/4 x²
