John drew a right triangle with sides 6 inches , 8inches , and 10 inches long what is the area of the triangle ?

24 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The easy way:

The two legs, or shorter sides, of a right triangle form that triangle's base and height. Knowing that the area of a triangle is (where b is the base and h is the height), we can use the 6 inch leg for the base and the 8 inch leg for the height to find an area of in².

The harder but more general way

There's a nice formula for calculating the area of any triangle given its side lengths found by this Greek guy named Heron, and it's appropriately called Heron's formula:

a, b, and c are the lengths of triangle, and s here is half the triangle's perimeter (also called the semi-perimeter), or mathematically:

For our problem, let's pick a = 6, b = 8, and c = 10. This would give us

Substituting that s back into Heron's formula, we get

So our area is 24 in²

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

felicia:

260 words per minute

200< 260 < 265

connie < felicia < stew
