Reduce a 24 cm by 36 cm photo to 3/4 original size.
The most logical way to do this is to keep the width-to-height ratio the same: It is 24/36, or 2/3. The original photo has an area of (24 cm)(36 cm) = 864 cm^2.
Let's reduce that to 3/4 size: Mult. 864 cm^2 by (3/4). Result: 648 cm^2.
We need to find new L and new W such that W/L = 2/3 and WL = 648 cm^2.
From the first equation we get W = 2L/3. Thus, WL = 648 cm^2 = (2L/3)(L).
Solve this last equation for L^2, and then for L:
2L^2/3 = 648, or (2/3)L^2 = 648. Thus, L^2 = (3/2)(648 cm^2) = 972 cm^2.
Taking the sqrt of both sides, L = + 31.18 cm. Then W must be 2/3 of that, or W = 20.78 cm.
Check: is LW = (3/4) of the original 864 cm^2? YES.
Answer:
Area of triangle is 9.88 units^2
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the area of triangle
Given E(5,1), F(0,4), D(0,8)
We will use formula:

We need to find the lengths of side DE, EF and FD
Length of side DE = a = 
Length of side DE = a = 
Length of side EF = b = 
Length of side EF = b = 
Length of side FD = c = 
Length of side FD = c = 
so, a= 8.60, b= 5.8 and c = 4
s = a+b+c/2
s= 8.6+5.8+4/2
s= 9.2
Area of triangle=
So, area of triangle is 9.88 units^2
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
So the question here is asking you to use the quadratic formula which is expressed as: 
A quadratic can generally be expressed as: 
So using the equation you gave: 
We can identify the following values: a=1, b=-5, c=-1
Btw the equation explicitly write "1" as the coefficient of x, but since it's not provided it's implied that it's 1.
So plugging in the known values, we get the following equation:

The last step just consists of taking the + and - solution, and since it asks for exact solutions you leave the 29 under the radical, and you don't approximate. There is no further simplification that can be done here.
Area for a triangle is (1/2) bh or bh/2
So using this info, b = 1.5 m and h = x and A = 1.5 m^2
A = bh/2
1.5 = 1.5x/2
Multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of fraction ... 3 = 1.5x
Divide both sides by 1.5 ... 2 = x so x= 1.5 m
