Melinda put 64 pieces of cake on a table. She placed them in 8 rows with the same number in each row. Each row had an equal number of two flavors of cake. How many pieces of each flavor were in one row? ( ugh math)

There were 4 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at ∠A, the angle which resides on (1, 3). If we count 5 units down, you find the other endpoint on side AC. Hence, the length of side AC is 5 units. This figure is equal to the height of the graphed triangle.

If we mirror this process with the figure representing the triangle's length, side BC, we get 4 units.

The formula for calculating a triangle's area is . In this context, the base of the triangle is the same as the length. Now, let's plug in the base and the height.

×

The area of triangle ABC is 10 squared units.
