Please help with this area question. I have gotten my answer but I am not too sure about it, and want to make sure my reasoning
is correct. Thank you!

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of triangle= ½ ×base ×height
Since the length of the base and the height of the triangle is equivalent to the length of a side of the square, s,
area of triangle
= ½ ×s ×s
= ½s²
Given that the area of the triangle is 12.5 units²,
½s²= 12.5
Multiply both sides by 2:
s²= 12.5(2)
s²= 25
Square root both sides:
s= 5 units
(reject negative value since s > 0)

The statement is false, as the system can have no solutions or infinite solutions.
<h3>Is the statement true or false?</h3>
The statement says that a system of linear equations with 3 variables and 3 equations has one solution.
If the variables are x, y, and z, then the system can be written as:
Now, the statement is clearly false. Suppose that we have:
Then we have 3 parallel equations. Parallel equations never do intercept, then this system has no solutions.
Then there are systems of 3 variables with 3 equations where there are no solutions, so the statement is false.
