<p>Can someone explain this one, it has a diagram too.</p>
<li>In Triangle XYZ above, XZ is 6/7 of h, the length of the altitude. What is the area of Triangle XYZ in terms of h?</li>
</ol>
<p>A. h^2/3
B. 3h^2/7
C. 3h/7
D. 6h^2/7
E. 12h^2/7</p>
<p>Sure!</p>
<p>Area of a triangle= Half of base time height (h)
The base is 6/7h. Half of that is (6/7h)(1/2) which gives you 3h/7.</p>
<p>Is that right?</p>
<p>the area of a triangle is 1/2 * base length * height length</p>
<p>the height of the triangle is the altitude, which is h
the base is 6/7 * h</p>
<p>1/2 * h * 6/7 * h = 3h^2/7</p>
<p>Oh shoot!
Forgot the other h ;)</p>
<p>yea i screwed up there too, then i saw the answer i circled
good luck on the sat tomorrow btw, both of you</p>
