Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cake shared=1/2

Pete share=x

Bill= twice as much as Pete

=2x

Pete's share+ Bill's share=total share

x+2x=1/2

3x=1/2

x=1/2÷3

x=1/2×1/3

=1/6

Pete's share=x=1/6

Bill's share=2x

=2(1/6)

=2/6

=1/3

Determine whether a triangle can be formed with the given side lengths. If so, use Heron's formula to find the area of the trian

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Triangle inequality rule states that the sum of eachpair of sides must be greater than the third sides.

240 + 123 > 207 true

240 + 207 > 123 true

123 + 207 > 240 true

A = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))

s is the semi-perimeter (a + b + c)/2

s = (240 + 123 + 207)/2

s = 285

A = √(285*(285-249)(285-123)(285-207))

A = 12,730 units^2
