Solution:

<u>Note that:</u>

  • Area of triangle = 6 3/8 yd²
  • Height of triangle = 2 1/2
  • Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x altitude

<u>Use the formula to find the base of the triangle.</u>

  • 1/2 x base x altitude = 6 3/8 yd²
  • => 1/2 x base x 2 1/2 = 6 3/8 yd²
  • => 1/2 x base x 5/2 = 6 3/8 yd²
  • => 5/4 x base = 6 3/8 yd²
  • => base = 6 3/8 ÷ 5/4 yd
  • => base = 51/8 x 4/5 yd
  • => base = 51/2 x 1/5 yd
  • => base = 51/10 yd

The length of the base is 51/10 yards.

  • Area of triangle = 6 3/8 yards²
  • Height of triangle = 2 1/2 yards

  • Base of triangle = ?

\large\underline{\underline{\maltese{\blue{\pmb{\sf{\: Explanation :-}}}}}}

\boxed{\mathfrak{area =  \frac{1}{2}  \times base \times height}}

We are already given the values, Let's plug them and solve for x i.e base

\bf\: 6 \frac{3}{8}  =  \frac{1}{ \cancel2}  \times x \times  \cancel2 \frac{1}{2}

\bf \:  6\frac{3}{8}  = x \times  \frac{1}{2}

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

\bf \:  \frac{51}{8}  =  \frac{1}{2} x

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2

\boxed{ \tt \: x =  \frac{51}{4} }

H(4 1/2, -3 1/4) x (3 3/4, -1 3/4) what the midpoint of hx
shtirl [24]

Answer:

(3 7/8, 2 3/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint, the formula is (x1-x2)/2 and (y1-y2)/2. So, in this case, our x1 is 4 1/2 and our x2 is -3 1/4. Subtract x2 from x1 and you will get 7 3/4. Then, divide by 2 to get 3 7/8. This is our x-coordinate.

Our y1 is 3 3/4 and our y2 is -1 3/4. Subtract y2 from y1 to get 5 1/2. Then divide by two to get 2 3/4. This is our y-coordinate.

Now we have our x and y coordinates.

(3 7/8, 2 3/4)
