Answer: 17.9
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Heron's formula:
Area of a triangle is given by:
√s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
Where a, b and c ara sides of the triangle and
S = (a+b+c) / 2
In the question above sides are :
XY=XZ= 20 and YZ=18
S = (20 + 20 + 18) / 2 = 58/2 = 29
Area = √29(29-20)(29-20)(29-18)
Area = √29(9)(9)(11)
Area = √25839
Area = 160.74513
Altitude = height(h)
Area = 0.5 × base × height
Base = yz = 18
160.74513 = 0.5 × 18 × h
160.74513 = 9 × h
h = 160.74513 / 9
h = 17.9 (3 s.f)
8:50 am
1/3 of 30 = 10 min (so it takes 10 min for him to drive to work)
9:00-10min = 8:50
I do believe the answer is the reflexive property.
For now I don't know the answer to this problem of yours.
