The triangle shown has an area of 32.5 square centimeters. Find the measure of the base (segment XY)

XY = 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle formula:

area = base × height / 2

a = bh / 2

Plug numbers into equation:

32.5 = b × 5 / 2

Multiply both sides by 2 to isolate the variable

65 = b × 5

Divide both sides by 5 to isolate the variable

13 = b

Check your work:

32.5 = 13 × 5 / 2

32.5 = 65 / 2

32.5 = 32.5

Correct

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Area=½×b×h

32.5=½×b×5

32.5=5/2b

To get be multiply each side by reciprocal of 5/2 which is 2/5

b =13

answer: slight chance that it will happen

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of balloons to tables is 5: 2 and the constant variation is 5.

the equation is y=5x
