Find the area of ΔABC.
A)21.93
B) 37.20
C) 29.77
D) 18.6

Option D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find side BC by using Pythagoras theorem.

Given:

=> 9² = 7.8² + x²

=> 81 = 60.84 + BC²

=> BC² = 20.16

=> √BC² = √20.16

=> BC = √20.16

=> BC = 4.48998886413 (Using calculator)

=> BC ≈ 4.49 (Estimated)

Therefore, side BC ≈ 4.49 units. Now, let's find the area by using hero's formula.

=> 1/2(Perimeter) = S

=> Perimeter: Hypotenuse + Side 1 + Side 2

=> 7.8 + 9 + 4.49

=> 21.29 = Perimeter

=> 1/2(21.29) = S

=> 10.645 = S

=> √s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c) = Area of triangle

=> √10.645(10.645 - 9)(10.645 - 4.49)(10.645 - 7.8)

=> √10.645(1.645)(6.155)(2.845)

=> √10.645 x 1.645 x 6.155 x 2.845

=> √306.635120999 (Using calculator)

=> √306.64 (Estimated)

=> 17.5111393119 (Using Calculator)

=> 17.51 units² (Estimated)

We can see that option D is the closest option. Therefore, Option D is correct.

If Option D was incorrect, then my second opinion is A.

If both are wrong, I deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused by me. Hoped this helped.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
