The area of a triangle is the product of the base of the triangle times the height of the triangle, divided by two.

Step-by-step explanation:

Almost correct.  I'd write this statement as follows:

"The area of a triangle is the product of the base and height of the triangle, divided by two."

or...

"The area of a triangle is half the product of the base and height."

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

answer: y=0 if that is what u r looking for
