Answer:
The area is 11317.51
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of 2 sides must be less than the third side (largest side) for a triangle to be formed.
b+c<a
133+174 < 240
A triangle can be formed
To use Herons formula for the area
We find S = 1/2( a+b+c)
= 1/2(240+133+174)
= 1/2 (547)
= 273.5
Area = sqrt( S (S-a) (S-b)(S-c))
sqrt((273.5 ) (273.5 -240) (273.5-133) (273.5-174))
sqrt((273.5)(33.5) (140.5) (99.5))
sqrt(128085964.4)
11317.50699
The area is 11317.51
1/2r -3= 3 (4-3/2r) is to be solved for r.
I'll begin by making the assumptions that by 1/2r you actually meant (1/2)r and that by 3/2r you actually meant (3/2)r. When in doubt, please use parentheses to make your meaning clear.
Thus, 1/2r -3= 3 (4-3/2r) becomes (1/2)r -3= 3 (4-(3/2)r ) .
Simplify this by multiplying all 3 terms by 2. Doing this will eliminate the fractions:
r -6 = 3 (4*2-(3)r ) or r - 6 = 24 - 9r
Now expand the right side, using the distributive property of
r - 3 = 24 - 9r
Regrouping so as to combine like terms:
10r = 30
Solving for r: r = 30/10 = 3
The value of r that satisfies this equation is 3
