Answer:
(Base x height) x 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We do this because a triangle is emulating a rectangle with Base x Height. However, a triangle's shape is less conventional than a standard square or rectangle, thus the division by 2.
6x+1 / 2x +6 - 5/2
Factor 2 out of the denominator of the first fraction:
6x+1 / 2(x+3) - 5/2
Rewrite 5/2 to have a common denominator with the first fraction:
6x+1/2(x+3) - 5(x+3) / 2(x+3)
Simplify terms:
6x +1 - 5(x+3) / 2(x+3)
Use distributive property:
6x +1 - 5x -15 / 2(x+3)
Combine like terms for final answer:
(x-14) / 2(x+3)
The digits that can be in the ones place is 1 and 5.... I think.
Since 500 is the area, and 20 is the length, divide 500 by 20. Your answer is a decimal. (0.04) therefore, you have to make it into a whole number. So move the decimal to the right two times. So 4 is your height.
