Answer:

A = 35 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable "b" represents the length of the triangle's base and "h" represents the highest height of the triangle. The area of a triangle can be determined using the formula:

A = 0.5bh

The area of the top triangle (including the isosceles triangle and the orange triangle) is:

A = 0.5 x (14 units) x (3 units + 5 units)

A = 56 units

The area of the isosceles triangle is:

A = 0.5 x (14 units) x (3 units)

A = 21 units

Thus, the area of the orange triangle is the area of both triangles minus the area of the isosceles triangle.

A = 56 units - 21 units

A = 35 units

0.821 ≤ (-6.7+p)/(8.4) ⇒

0.821*8.4 ≤-6.7+p ⇒

6.8964≤-6.7+p ⇒

6.8964+6.7 ≤ p ⇒

13.5964 ≤ p

A person runs 1/8 mile in 1/64 hour.<br> The person's speed is (BLANK) miles per hour.

snow_tiger [21]

Answer: The person's speed is 8 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve we want to convert the $\frac{1}{8}$ and $\frac{1}{64}$ proportionally for the number of miles per hour. We know that multiplying a fraction by its reciprocal will equal 1. So let's do that for the value of the hour.
