Question

Find the area of the triangle, height=x, base=5/3x

Answer 1

`A=(5x^(2))/(6)`

Explanation:

Let's solve this by using the Area formula for a triangle:

`A=(1)/(2)bh`

Base:
`(5)/(3)x`

Height:
`x`

Solve for A (Area)

`A=(1)/(2)((5)/(3)x)(x)`

`A=(5x^(2))/(6)`

Since we do not have a given value for
`x`, this is as far as we can condense the equation.

Answer 2

The area would be 5x^2/ 6x
