Answer:

XY = 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle formula:

area = base × height / 2

a = bh / 2

Plug numbers into equation:

32.5 = b × 5 / 2

Multiply both sides by 2 to isolate the variable

65 = b × 5

Divide both sides by 5 to isolate the variable

13 = b

Check your work:

32.5 = 13 × 5 / 2

32.5 = 65 / 2

32.5 = 32.5

Correct

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area=½×b×h

32.5=½×b×5

32.5=5/2b

To get be multiply each side by reciprocal of 5/2 which is 2/5

b =13

X = adults
Y = child

X+y=168
X=168-y

$10x + $7y = $1446

10(168-y) + 7y = 1446
1680 - 10y + 7y = 1446
-3 y = -234
Y = 78

X = 168-78
X = 90

$10*90 + $7*78 =
$900 + $546 = $1446
