Answer:

Below!

<h3>Step-by-step explanation (a):</h3>

Given:

  • Area of Triangle = 18 cm²
  • Base of Triangle = 6 cm
  • Height of (Triangle = (h + 1) cm

<u>Formula:</u>

\text{Area of triangle} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height}

Substitute the measures into the formula:

:\implies 18 \ \text{cm}^{2}  = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 6 \times \text{(h} + 1\text{)}

SImplify the R.H.S:

:\implies18 \ \text{cm}^{2}  = 3 \times \text{(h} + 1\text{)}

Divide both sides by 3:

:\implies \dfrac{18}{3}   = \dfrac{3 \times \text{(h} + 1\text{)}}{3}

Simplify both sides:

:\implies 6   = \text{(h} + 1\text{)}

Subtract 1 both sides:

:\implies 6  - 1 = \text{h} + 1- 1

Simplify both sides:

:\implies 5= \text{h}

<h3>Step-by-step explanation (b):</h3>

<u>Reviewing on how to verify our answer:</u>

We can verify our answer by substituting the value of "h" in (h + 1) to determine the height of the triangle. Then we can substitute the height and the base in the "area of triangle" formula (1/2 x Base x Height).

  • Note: Keep in mind that the evaluated area should be 18 cm², as said in the question. If the area evaluated is different from 18 cm², then the value of "h" is incorrect.

<u>Verifying our answer through mental math:</u>

  • Clearly, the height of the triangle is 6 cm, as when "h" is substituted in the expression (h + 1), we get 5 + 1.
  • As said above, the formula for determining the area of a triangle is 1/2 x Base x Height. Clearly, half of 6 is 3.
  • Lastly, when 6 (Base) and 3 (Half of the height) are multiplied, we get 18 cm², which is the area stated in the question.

Thus, the value of "h" is verified through mental math.

Answer:

\sf Area\:of\:a\:triangle=\dfrac12 \times base \times height

Given:

  • area = 18 cm²
  • base = 6 cm
  • height = (h + 1) cm

Substitute the given values into the equation and solve for h:

\sf \implies 18 = \sf \dfrac12 \times 6 \times (h+1)

\sf \implies 18 = \sf \dfrac62 (h+1)

\sf \implies 18 =3(h+1)

expand using distributive property of addition a(b+c)=ab+ac:

\sf \implies 18=3h+3

subtract 3 from both sides:

\sf \implies 3h=15

divide both sides by 3:

\sf \implies h=5

<u>To verify</u>:

Half of the base is 3 cm.

If h=5, then the height of the triangle is 6 cm.

Multiplying 3 by 6 is 18.

This matches the given area, so we can verify that h = 5.

Ram noticed three students used 1 2/10 dm of tape.what was the total used for three students???
OLga [1]

Answer:

18/5

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>From my understanding, this is 1 whole 2 upon 10</em>

<u>Step 1: Convert mixed fraction into fraction</u>

<em>Multiply whole number by denominator: 1 x 10 = 10</em>

<em>Add numerator: 10 + 2 = 12</em>

<em>Write the result as the numerator and use the same denominator.</em>

12/10

<u>Step 2: Find the total tape used</u>

<em>From my understanding, each student used 12/10 of the tap</em>

<em>So 3 students used: 12/10 x 3 =</em> 18/5

Therefore, the total tape used for three students was 18/5.

The formula used to calculate the value of a savings accounty =(1+)120What does theafter t years is A(t)=0.04= 1500 1+120.04frac
yulyashka [42]

We have here the formula for Compound Interest:

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where:

• A is the accrued amount.

,

• P is the Principal (the original amount of money, the starting amount of money).

,

• r is the interest rate.

,

• n is the number of times per year compounded.

,

• t is the time in years.

When we have that n is equal to 12, we are talking here about that the amount of money is being compounded monthly (we have 12 months in a year, 12 periods, n = 12). <em>Therefore, we are dividing the rate, r, by the number of compoundings per year, n, and this is the rate per each new compounding period of time, r/n, and, in this case, n = 12 (monthly interest rate). </em>

Therefore, in few words, the fraction (0.04/12) is the monthly interest rate (option C).

[If we see the other options, we have:

• The daily interest rate would be given by 0.04/365.

,

• How long the money has been in the account is time, t.

,

• The starting balance in the account is the Principal, P. ]
