OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you guys see it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. OK, they tell you the formula for a triangle's area, and they tell you the base and the height. So what do you do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the formula is (1)/2bh and the courtyard is √90 and height is 10+√3 so its either a or c right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do it step by step, first multiply out 1/2 * b * h without yet simplifying the radicals; what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bh/2? crap i dont understand this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, but substitute in the actual numbers they gave you for b and h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 15√(10)+√(3)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Before you simplify what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're multiplying 1/2 * Sqrt[90] * (10 + Sqrt[3]). So distribute the sqrt[90] first.
