Find the height of the triangle by applying formulas for the area of a triangle and your knowledge about triangles. This is a triangle. side a has a length of 6 yards. side b has a length of 10 yards. side c has a length of 14 yards. The altitude to side c has a length of X yards. what is x

3.71 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Heron's formula:

area = 0.25 * √((a + b + c) * (-a + b + c) * (a - b + c) * (a + b - c))

so h = 0.5 * √((a + b + c) * (-a + b + c) * (a - b + c) * (a + b - c)) / c

a = 6

b = 10

c = 14

a+b+c = 30

-a+b+c = 18

a-b+c = 10

a+b-c = 2

x = h = 0.5×sqrt(30×18×10×2)/14 = sqrt(30×18×10×2)/28 =

= sqrt(10800)/28 = sqrt(400×9×3)/28 =

= 20×3×sqrt(3)/28 = 60×sqrt(3)/28 = 15×sqrt(3)/7 =

= 3.711537 yd

step-by-step explanation:

i'm pretty sure it would take 20 hours because it's half the men so you multiply the number of hours it takes by 2

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
