Geomentry question

[cerulean briar]

did you get sorted?

if the area of a triangle is height times base over 2

and the base of abc is half of abd

whhat does this tell us?

[severe sapphire]

uhm

it means the area of ABC is 10 square units?

oh wait a sec

did I just solved it?

:0

wait no

I am still confusing

Yea

[cerulean briar]

you got it

[severe sapphire]

yea just notice

tyysm

:))

[cerulean briar]

if we assign a value to each it helps some times

[severe sapphire]

really?

How can I do it?

[cerulean briar]

so if I ac was equal to 2, that would mean ad is equal to 4

[severe sapphire]

right

[cerulean briar]

if we say hight is equal to one it gives us all of our unknowns we need to find 2 areas

gime 2 secs and ill give you an example that you can work backwards off of the example on

[severe sapphire]

ok

[cerulean briar]

so if we say AC is 4

the question tells us that AD is 8 as its twice the length

if the height was 5

hight meaning from point B straight down

[severe sapphire]

Yes

[cerulean briar]

this would mean that ABD is (8x5)/2

which is 20

[severe sapphire]

I get it

:)

I understand this now I think

[cerulean briar]

if AC is hald of ad then this means that (4x5)/2 is 10

[severe sapphire]

uhm

excuse me

what is

uh

"hald"

[cerulean briar]

half, sorry

[severe sapphire]

ok no problem

[cerulean briar]

use some of this reasoning in your answer to prove your answer

[severe sapphire]

Yes, I think this gonna helps me

[cerulean briar]

good to hear

[severe sapphire]

:D

Thank you

Bye

[cerulean briar]

not a bother, bye
