The area of any triangle is (1/2) x (length of the base) x (height) .
In this problem, we know the triangle's height,
but what is the length of the base ?
The base is the side that the triangle is sitting on. This particular triangle
is an equilateral one, and its perimeter is 60m. So each side must be 20m.
No matter which side the triangle is sitting on, the length of the base is 20m.
Area = (1/2) x (base) x (height)
Area = (1/2) x (20m) x (17.3m) = <em>173 m²</em>
It can be both because there are diffrent sizes
Answer:
168 meters squared
Step-by-step explanation:
So we know that Jake walked from b to c and d meaning he didn't go from a to b, but we also know that scarlet walked a to b so to find the length we can subtract scarlet's walk by jake's walk or 38-31 which is 7.
So we know the length of one side is 7 so this means we have side a to b and c to d, but we still need to know b to c. So what we can do is get the length of a b c and d and isolate it so that we only have b to c. To do this we get the length of 7 and double it which is 14 and take it away from the 38m
38-14=24
so now we know that the side is 24 and we can solve for the area
24*7=168
so the answer is 168 meters squared
First what you do is divide 14 by 4 and you get 3.5 or 3 feet and 6 inches.
