Question

The area of a piece of land that is in the shape of a triangle is 1/12 square mile. One dimension of this piec of land is 4/21. Find the number of the second dimension.

Answer 1

D2=21/24 mile

Explanation:

Her it is not specified if it is base or height, it only talks about dimensions, so let's work with dimensions

A=1/12
`mile^(2)`

D1=4/21mile, D2=?

Area of a triangle
`A=(b.h)/(2)`

A=((D1*D2)/2) → 2A=D1*D2 → D2=2A/D1 so D2=(2*1/12)/(4/21) =(1/6)/(4/21) = (1*21)/(6*4)=21/24 mile
