Math Problem Statement

Ritika. Has drawn the adjoining triangle in her notebook she want to find the area of triangle what could be the area of this triangle (6x+4y)cm (2x+3y)

Solution

To find the area of a triangle using the given expressions, we need to know which dimensions the expressions represent. Since the information provided isn't clear about whether these are the sides, base, or height of the triangle, I’ll assume a common scenario where 6x+4y6x + 4y cm represents the base, and 2x+3y2x + 3y cm represents the height.

The area AA of a triangle is calculated using the formula:

A=12×base×heightA = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}

Substituting the given expressions for the base and height:

A=12×(6x+4y)×(2x+3y)A = \frac{1}{2} \times (6x + 4y) \times (2x + 3y)

Now, let's expand and simplify this expression for the area:

A=12×((6x×2x)+(6x×3y)+(4y×2x)+(4y×3y))A = \frac{1}{2} \times \left( (6x \times 2x) + (6x \times 3y) + (4y \times 2x) + (4y \times 3y) \right)

Let me calculate this.The area of the triangle, expressed in terms of xx and yy, is:

A=6x2+13xy+6y2square centimetersA = 6x^2 + 13xy + 6y^2 \, \text{square centimeters}

This is the simplified form of the area of the triangle using the given base and height expressions.

Do you want further details, or do you have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this information:

  1. How would the area change if both xx and yy were doubled?
  2. What would the area be if x=1x = 1 cm and y=2y = 2 cm?
  3. Can you express the perimeter of the triangle if the third side is also given as an expression?
  4. How would you find the maximum area of this triangle with respect to xx and yy?
  5. What would the area be if the height were 3x+2y3x + 2y cm instead?

Tip: When working with expressions involving multiple variables, always simplify your expressions to get a clear understanding of the relationship between the variables.
