Using proportions, it is found that the average waste produced by each plant on a monthly basis is of 0.8 tons per month.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, there is a period of 60 x 12 = 720 months, with 104 plants, and 60,000 tons of waste were produced, hence the average is given by:

A = 60000/(720 x 104) = 0.8 tons per month.

The height of a triangular window is 3 feet less than its base. The area the window is 20 ft.? find the dimensions of the window
Ivenika [448]

Let us assume base of the window = b feet.

Height is 3 feet less than base, that is = (b-3).

Given area of the triangle = 20 feet square.

We know formula for area of a triangle:

Area = \frac{1}{2} × Base × Height

Plugging values in formula, we get

20 = \frac{1}{2} b \times (b-3)

\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}2

40=b\left(b-3\right)

40=b^2-3b

b^2-3b-40=0

Factoring quadratic, we get

\left(b+5\right)\left(b-8\right)=0

b+5=0

b=-5

b-8=0

b=8.

For base we can take only positive value.

<h3>Therefore, base of the triangle = 8 feet and height = 8 -3 = 5 feet.</h3>
