the graph shows a triangle formed by the x-axis,the line 3x-2y=0, and the line x+2y=10. Follow these steps to find the area of the triangle.
Find the point of intersection of the two lines, then find the height and the base, so,
\(A=75/4\)
Answer:
\(A = 18.75\)
Step-by-step explanation:
The point where the lines intersect to each other is:
(2.5,3.75)
From this point the triangle's base is derived.
The point where each line meet the horizontal axis, of which triangle's base is derived, are:
(0,0) and (10,0)
The area of the triangle is:
\(A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (10)\cdot (3.75)\)
\(A = 18.75\)
