Answer:
The answer is 15
Step-by-step explanation:
area of triangle is half * base * height
So 1/2*5*6 is 15
Answer:
So the answer is 14 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Median means the number in the middle, and 17 and 11 are in the middle. Because there's 2 numbers in the middle, you need to average them to find the answer.
17+11=28
28 / 2= 14. So the answer is <u>14 </u><u>seconds</u>.
You had the right idea using the Pythagorean theorem to solve for b.
Problem is for that triangle to work, the 5 and the 2√2 would have to switch places. The length of a leg cannot be larger than the length of the hypotenuse for it to truly be a right triangle.
Pythagorean theorem only works for the right triangles. Only way to "solve this problem would be to bring in complex numbers.
5² + b² = (2√2)²
25 + b² = 2²(√2)²
25 + b² = 4(2)
25 + b² = 8
b² = 8 - 25
b² = - 17
b = √-17
b= (√17i)
Then the problem with THIS is a measurement/distance cannot be negative... which goes against exactly what that complex number i is.
I think that would be a right angle triangle or is that not what it is meaning
