anonymous · Answer

does'n say 2 triangle the same

anonymous · Answer

what?

anonymous · Answer

the picture dosen't say 2triangle the same segment, I don't know

dumbcow · Answer

no i was wrong sorry i misinterpreted the figure...they were just showing what the height was, i thought it was a triangle inside of another triangle

anonymous · Answer

what you think?

anonymous · Answer

Me? I thought the dotted lines of the figure where just there to make it more lear that its a right angle. no matter what triangle you think it is, the information provided only gives you enough to find the area of one triangle, the formula is always the same though.

anonymous · Answer

3x+5 is the base of  the shaded only ,or the base  segment of both triangle?

anonymous · Answer

it is only the shaded segment, but the area you can work out remains the same either way.
