Answer:
UX ≈ 4.5
△UVW = 49.5 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
[] We can assume that UX is the midline of this triangle.
22 ft / 2 = 11 ft
XW and VX = 11 ft
[] Now that we have 2 sides of a right traingle, we can find the third.
a² + 11² = 12²
a² + 121 = 144
a² = 20
a = about 4.5, which is side UX
[] Since we have all three sides of the triangle, we can also solve for the total triangle's area. To solve for the area of a triangle, we do base times height divided by 2
22 * 4.5 = 99
99 / 2 = 49.5 ft²
Have a nice day!

1350 to the nearest 100 is 1400
Answer:
2x + 6 = 10
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 6 = 10
2x = 4
x = 2
Alice and Amy are standing on the 2 opposite endpoints of the diagonal of a rectangle. (Well, this is the best way to think of the situation geometrically.)
The shortest distance is certainly when Amy walks straight through the diagonal. So, we need to find the length of the diagonal.
A diagonal divides a rectangle into 2 congruent (identical) right triangles. The sides of any of these 2 triangles are 100 ft and 60 ft, thus we can find the diagonal by the Pythagorean theorem:

,
so,

(ft).
Answer: 117 ft
