Question

1. a triangle has the base of 5/3x and the height of x
how do i work this equation

Answer 1

Area = 5/6 * x^2

Explanation:

If you are given the base and height of a certain triangle, you will most likely be asked to find the area

The area of any triangle can be found by

Area = base*height * (1/2)

In your case

Area = (5/3)*x*x* (1/2) = 5/6 * x^2

In your case, x should be a known parameter of your triangle, so if you have the value of the height, you should be able to find the area. Or conversely, if you have the area, you can find the length and height of your triangle.
