There can be 6 teams because
27/4= 6.75
yet there will be 3 students left, so they can be a team ;)
He can either measure the third side length, apply the Pythagorean theorem to find the height of the triangle, and then calculate the area, or he can find the measure of the included angle between the known side lengths and use trigonometry to express the height of the triangle and then determine the
area of the triangle
X = 28
1/4+17=x-4
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4
X+68=4z-16
Move variable to the left hand side and change its sign
X-4x+68=-16
X-4x=-16-68
Combine like terms
-3x=-16-68
-3x=-84
Divide both sides by -3
X=28
