Answer:
about 77 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
From 3 sides, the area of a triangle is conveniently calculated using Heron's formula:
A = √(s(s -a)(s -b)(s -c))
where s is the semi-perimeter: s = (a+b+c)/2.
For the given values of a, b, c, we have ...
s = (a+b+c)/2 = (18 +11 +14)/2 = 21.5
A = √(21.5·3.5·10.5·7.5) = √5925.9375
A ≈ 76.9801 . . . cm^2
The area is about 77 square centimeters.
You have to factor and then get the x intercepts
That’s true!!!! They totally should do that!
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
the height a creates with half of the baseline (5) and a leg (10) a right-angled triangle, and we can use Pythagoras to calculate a.
c² = a² + b²
c being the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle, so in our case the 10 side).
10² = a² + 5²
100 = a² + 25
75 = a²
a = sqrt(75) = sqrt(3×25) = 5×sqrt(3)
