6 points are placed on the line a , 4 points are placed on the line b . How many triangles is it possible to form such that their vertices will be the given points, if a ∥ b ? WILL MARK BRAINLIesT

96

Step-by-step explanation:

Using side b as the base, 4 points makes 3 bases (the space in between).  With three bases, you can have 3 bases of 1 segment, 2 bases of 2 segments, and 1 base of 3 segments.  This equals 6 bases. Each of these can connect to a point on line a. 6x6=36

Using side a as the base, 6 points makes 5 bases.  With 5 bases, you can have 5 bases of 1 segment, 4 bases of 2 segments, 3 bases of 3 segments, 2 bases of 4 segments, and 1 base of 5 segments.  This equals 15 bases.  Each of these can connect to a point on line b.  15x4=60

36+60=96

-3(b-8)-5=9(b+2)+1

distribute

-3b+24-5=9b+18+1

add/ subtract

-3b+20=9b+19

20-19= 1

-3b+1=9b

9b+3b= 12b

1=12b

1 divided by 12 = 1/12

answer: 1/12 = b
