Bob is trying to calculate the area of a triangle with a base of 5 meters and a height of 7 meters. He mistakenly switches the height and the base. How will this affect his answer? Explain your thinking.

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 1/2 b*h

A = 1/2 (5*7)

We can use the commutative property of multiplication which states

a*b = b*a

A = 1/2 (7*5)

This will not affect the answer because 5*7 = 7*5

B

y =  is the equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.

A line perpendicular to it will be a vertical line parallel to the y- axis with equation

x = c

where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through.

The line passes through (- 6, - 9 ) with equation

x = - 6 → B
