Find the area of the right triangle. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth. A right triangle with side 15 yards and hypotenuse 25 yards.
a.
20 yd
b.
150 yd
c.
60 yd
d.
300 yd

B - 150 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Obviously the first step is to find the missing measurement. To do this, you use the Pythagorean theorem; a² + b² = c².

In this case, let's label the the missing side A, the height B, and the hypotenuse C.

X² + 15² = 25²

Then you must figure out what 15² and 25².

15² = 225

25² = 625

The next step is to subtract 15² (225) from 25² (625), which will give you the result of X².

625 - 225 = 400.

Now you know X² = 400, you can find the square root of 400 to give you the length of the triangle.

√400 = 20.

The missing length of the triangle is 20 yards.

Now it's just a matter of finding the area by using the formula;

A =

Or,

(20 × 15) ÷ 2 = 150.

And there's your answer. Don't forget to add the units.

step-by-step explanation:

equation

you are asked to write the equation

  expression = 0

using the given expression. when you do that, you have

  2x^2-2x-12 = 0

factoring

you can see that each of the coefficients is even, so a factor of 2 can be removed immediately.

  2(x^2 -x -6) = 0

if you multiply the binomials (x+a)(x+b), you get

  (x +a)(x +b) = x^2 +(a+b)x +ab

this tells you the coefficient of x is the sum of two factors of the constant term. here, that means -1 is the sum of two factors of -6. we want to know those factors so we can factor the trinomial.

  -6 = -1×6 = -2×3 = -3×2 = -6×1

the factor pair that sums to -1 is {-3, 2}, so our factorization is

  2(x -3)(x +2) = 0

solutions

the solutions to this equation are the values of x that make the product zero. a product is zero only when only of the factors of the product is zero. here, that means

  x - 3 = 0

  x = 3 . . . add 3 to both sides of the equation

or

  x +2 = 0

  x = -2 . . . add -2 to both sides of the equation

the solutions to the equation are x=3 or x=-2. both of these values of x satisfy the equation—they make it be true.
