Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first one.
If you're trying to find the missing side of the "triangle" (the distance from the house to where the ladder touches the ground), you would use the pythagorean theorem, a²+b²=c². (c is always hypotenuse)
a²+b²=c²
12²+b²=15²
144+b²=225
b²=81
√b²=√81
b=9
Answer: y = 6 mi. .
______________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________
Area of a triangle = (½) * (base) * (height) ;
or, A = (½) * b * h ; or, A = b*h / 2 ;
_____________________________________
Given: A = 24.3 mi ² ;
b = 8.1 mi
___________________
Find the height, "h" ; (in units of "miles", or , "mi" ).
__________________________
Plug in the known values into the formula:
24.3 mi ² = (½) * (8.1 mi) *(h) ;
_____________________________
Solve for "h" (height) ;
_____________________________
(½) * (8.1 mi) = 4.05 mi ;
______________________________
Rewrite:
____________________________
24.3 mi² = (4.05 mi) *(h) ; Solve for "h" ;
_________________________________________
Divide each side of the equation by "(4.05 mi)" ; to isolate "h" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "h" ;
__________________________________________
24.3 mi² / 4.05 mi = (4.05 mi) *(h) / 4.05 mi ;
→ 6 mi = h ; ↔ h = 6 mi.
→ h = y = 6 mi.
