A right triangle has a height of 18 inches and a base of 12 inches find the area of the triangle in square inches find the area of the triangle in square inches

108 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for any square is base*height/2. The formual to find the area of a square is base*height. If you draw out a square and cut it in half diagonaly, you get a right triangle. That is why you divide it by 2. (sorry if the explanation was clunky/ hard to understand)

1. You would multiply 18*12 which equals 216.

2. Divide 216 by 2. 216/2= 108.

The answer is 108. Hope this helped you:)

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)
