Algebra.Com's Answer #307785 by richard1234(7193)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Actually, there are infinitely many right triangles having an area of 20 sq units. Given the area of the triangle\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We establish \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We can assume that the area is a function in terms of b, i.e.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The domain of b is the entire set of positive real numbers, and for each b, there exists an h. Hence there are infinitely many such triangles. \n" ); document.write( " |
