Find the area of the triangle in terms of the variable y if the base of the triangle is (4y - 6) meters and the height is (8y + 5) meters. Enter your answer in standard form, ay2 + by + c.

Respuesta :

16y²-14y -15

1) Let's visualize this to better understand

2) Now let's plug that into the Triangle's area formula:

[tex]\begin{gathered} S=\frac{b\cdot h}{2} \\ S=\frac{(4y-6)(8y+5)}{2} \\ S=\frac{32y^2+20y-48y-30}{2} \\ S=\frac{32y^2-28y-30}{2} \\ S=\frac{32y^2}{2}-\frac{28y}{2}-\frac{30}{2} \\ S=16y^2-14y-15 \end{gathered}[/tex]

3) SO the answer is S=16y²-14y -15
