Answer:
C(6.25 , 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw the diagram
A is at (0,0)
B is at (6,8)
Draw a line from A to B.
Put a large dot where (0,6) is. Call this D
Draw BD
Draw another line from (0,0) to just beyond (6,0) Call this C. Draw in BC
What You Have Drawn
The height of the triangle is BD and it is 8. That comes from B which is (6,8)
Solve
Formula
Area = 1/2 * B * H
Area = 25
H = 8
Area = 1/2 B * H
25 = 1/2 * B * 8 Switch sides
1/2 * B * 8 = 25 Combine factors on the left.
4 B = 25 Divide both sides by 4
4B/4 = 25/4
B = 6.25
What that means is that AC is 6.25 units long and is on the x axis
C is C(6.25,0)
