You want put up a fence that encloses a triangular region with an area greater than or equal to 60 ft? What is the least possible value of c?

(the triangle is 2-D, has the base of 12 ft and the height of c)

Answer 1

The least possible value of c is 10 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is given by:

area = (1/2) × base × height

Given that the base of the triangle is 12 ft, and we want the area to be greater than or equal to 60 ft, we can solve for the least possible value of the height (c) using the formula:

60 = (1/2) × 12 × c

Simplifying the equation, we get:

120 = 12c

Dividing both sides by 12, we find that the least possible value of c is 10 ft.

Answer 2

The area of a triangle = 0.5*base*height
= 0.5*12*c = 6c
Therefor we have 6c is greater than or equal to 60, and so c must be greater than or equal to 10 ft
