Answer:

base(b)=10 and height(h)=6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

base(b)=x feet

height(h)=(x-4) feet

Area(A)=30 square feet

Now,

We know,

Area of triangle(A)=1/2*b*h

or, 30=1/2*x*(x - 4)

or, 30=1/2*x^2 -4x

or, 30*2=x^2 -4x

or, 60=x^2 -4x

or, 0 = x^2 -4x -60

or, 0 = x^2 +6x - 10x -60

or, 0 = x(x + 6) -10(x + 6)

or, 0 = (x+6) (x-10)

Either,

x+6=0. or, x-10=0

or,x= -6. or, x= 10

Since, the base of the triangle can not be negative number then, x≠ -6feet but x=10feet

Lastly,

Height(h)=X - 4

=10 - 4

=6 feet

Juanita says that 3.5[4d - (2) (1.5)] and 2[7d - (5)(1.05)] are equivalent. Is Juanita correct? Explain your reasoning.
valkas [14]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

3.5 [4d - 2*1.5] = 3.5*4d - 3.5*2*1.5

                        = 14d - 10.5

2*[7d - 5*1.05] = 2*7d - 2*5*1.05

                       = 14d -  10.5

When we are simplifying both the expression using distributive property, we get the same expression at the end.

A chemist needs 2,220 ml of potassium chloride to complete an experiment. She has 2 L. How many more liters does she need?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

  0.220 L

Step-by-step explanation:

One liter is 1000 mL, so 2,220 mL is 2.220 L. Subtracting the 2 L on hand gives the additional amount required:

  2.220 L - 2 L = 0.220 L

_____

The nice thing about metric units is that conversion factors are often powers of 10, so only movement of the decimal point is required. It can be worthwhile to become familiar with the SI prefixes.
