Step-by-step explanation:

quick ...

first we need to find x.

and then we can calculate the area by

baseline × height / 2

which is here

12 × x / 2

x we get via Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90 degree angle).

15² = 12² + x²

x² = 15² - 12² = 225 - 144 = 81

x = 9

the area of the triangle is then

12 × 9 / 2 = 6×9 = 54 m²

$\large\huge\green{\sf{Answer:-}}$

option c is correct

$\large\huge\green{\sf{Given:-}}$

perpendicular side= 12m
hypotheses side= 15m
base = x m

$\large\huge\green{\sf{ToFind:-}}$

area of triangle

$\large\huge\green{\sf{FormulaUsed:-}}$

Pythagoras theorem h²= p²+b²
and area of traingle = 1/2xbxh

$\large\huge\green{\sf{Solution:-}}$

∵h²= p²+b²

➡(15)²=(12)²+ x²

➡x²= (15)²-(12)²

➡x²= 225-144= 81m

➡x=√81= 9m

the Length of base = 9m

☆ area of traingle:-

$\frac{1}{2} \times b \times h \\ \frac{1}{2} \times9 \times 12 \\ \frac{9\times 12}{2} \\ \frac{108}{2} = 54$

∵hence ,area of traingle is 54 cm²

$6+5\sqrt{249}-2x=7 \\-2x=7-6-5\sqrt{249} \\-2x\approx-77.9 \\x\approx\frac{-77.9}{2}\approx38.95$

Hope this helps.

We have been given that Grant spent $2.50, $4.00, $4.25, and $3.25 on breakfast in one week. The next week he spent $6 more in total for the 4 breakfasts than the week before. We are asked to find increase in the mean of second week.

Since Grant spent $6 more than last week, we will divide 6 by 4 to get how much mean of second week breakfast expenditures increased with respect to first week expenditures.

$\text{Mean increase in second week breakfast expenditure}=\frac{6}{4}$
