If the area of a right triangle is 6.22 square inches and its base is 3.11 inches, write an equation that relates the area to the height, h, and the base. Solve the equation to determine the height.

(a) 12.44 - 3.11h = 0

(b) 4in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = (1/2)bh, where b is the base and h is the height.

Now from the question, Area = 6.22in² and the base is 3.11inches.

Therefore, the equation that relates the area to the height and the base wiil be

Area = (3.11)h/2

6.22 x 2 = 3.11 x h

12.44 = 3.11h

12.44 - 3.11h = 0

(b) to find the value of h from the equation, make h the subject of the formula by solving for h

12.44 = 3.11h

h = 12.44/3.11

= 4in²

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
