The area of a triangle is 1/2(base x height) .
The two legs of this triangle are equal. If you position it properly,
one of them is the base, and the other one is the height.
Since it's a right triangle, A² + B² = C²
But A = B and C = 24 .
2A² = (24)²
A² = (24)² / 2
But since A=B, A² is also (base x height) of the triangle.
Area is just 1/2 of it.
Area = 1/2(24²/2) = (24)²/4 = (24/2)² = (12)² = <u>144</u> .
Linear, when you plot the numbers it will be in a line. Remember “(line)ar”
Answer:
0.75 or 3/4 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a proportion
We need 1 1/4, or 1.25 cups of sugar for 20 cookies, and we need x cups of sugar for 12 cookies
1.25/20=x/12
To solve, we need to get the variable,x, by itself. It is being divided by 12. To reverse this, multiply both sides by 12.
12(1.25/20)=(x/12)12
The 12s on the right will cancel, and we are left with
0.75=x
0.75 is equivalent to 3/4
So, 0.75 or 3/4 cups of sugar is needed to make 12 cookies
