Area of a Triangle. The area in square meters of a triangle is given by A(x)=x^2+5x+6
a)Find A(5)
b)If the length of the triangle is x+3 then what is the base of the triangle?
a(5)=5^2+5*5+6
compute that.
Now, Area is also equal to 1/2 base*length
but when x=5, length is 8, and area is as above.
Area=1/2 (8)*base
solve for base.
Can you let me know if I went wrong here
A(5)=52+5(5)+6
5A=25+25+6
5A=56
A=56/5
To find the area of a triangle, you need the length of the base and the height. However, in the equation you provided, A(x) = x^2 + 5x + 6, only the variable x is present, and there is no information about the height or the base. Hence, it seems that the given equation does not represent the area of a triangle.
Could you provide any additional information about the triangle? Such as the measurements of the base and height, or any other relevant details?
