algrebra question:
ooh good!!!
a common formula used to find the area of a triangle is A = bh/2, where b is the measurement of length of the base and h is the measurement of height. the area of a triangle is 15cm to the power of 2, and the base is 3 cm. use algebraic operations to solve an equation to find the measurement of the height of the triangle.
wowee what a lot of words divide
Ikr!
\[A=\frac{bh}{2}\\ 15=\frac{3\times h}{2}\] lets see if we can get \(h\)
Please note that you have to solve this equation: A = (b*h)/2 in order to find h
multiply 15 by the "reciprocal' of \(\frac{3}{2}\) reciprocal means flip it, so \[\frac{2}{3}\times 15=h\]
is it 10/9 = h
hmm no
just 10 = h
yes
two times fifteen is thirty, thirty divide by three is ten fifteen divided by three is five, five times two is ten
either way
got it!! so thats the answer?
