A triangle with an area of 60 square inches has a height that is 16 less than 6 times its base.

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a triangle

baseline × height / 2

in our case

baseline × height / 2 = 60 in²

height = 6×baseline - 16

baseline × (6×baseline - 16) / 2 = 60

baseline × (3×baseline - 8) = 60

3×baseline² - 8×baseline = 60

baseline = x

3x² - 8x - 60 = 0

general solution to a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 3

b = -8

c = -60

x = (8 ± sqrt(64 - 4×3×-60))/(2×3) =

= (8 ± sqrt(64 + 720))/6 = (8 ± sqrt(784))/6 =

= (8 ± 28)/6

x1 = (8 + 28)/6 = 36/6 = 6

x2 = (8 - 28)/6 = -20/6 = -10/3

x2 as a negative number is not a valid solution for a length in a geometric shape.

so, x = 6 in is our solution for the baseline.

height = 6x - 16 = 6×6 - 16 = 36 - 16 = 20 in

base = 6 in

The measures of two sides of a triangle are 4in and 13in. Find all possible values that the third side of this triangle can be?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

9 < x < 17 is the possible length of the third side of a triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Triangle Inequality theorem defines that if we are given two sides of a triangle, the sum of any two given sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the 3rd side.

Given the two sides of the triangle

  • 4 in
  • 13 in

Let 'x' be the length of 3rd size.

According to the Triangle Inequality theorem,

The difference of two sides < x < The sum of two sides

13 - 4 < x < 13+4

9 < x < 17

Therefore, 9 < x < 17 is the possible length of the third side of a triangle.

Please help with problem 25, part a and b Algebra 1, In the attachment.
erica [24]

The equation to represent the number of people that can attend the event will be 18500 +/- 1200.

<h3>How to calculate the value?</h3>

Based on the information, equation to represent the number of people that can attend the event will be 18500 +/- 1200.

The maximum number will be:

= 18500 + 1200

= 19700

The minimum number will be:

= 18500 - 1200

= 17300

first question what is the starting point?Exponential equation for the black bird: g(x) = 2^x-8 + 1King Pig is located at (11,9)
goblinko [34]

Given the exponential function:

g(x)=2^{x-8}+1

The starting point is found when x = 0.

So, let's substitute x by 0.

\begin{gathered} g(0)=2^{0-8}+1 \\ g(0)=2^{-8}+1 \\ g(0)=0.0039+1 \\ g(0)=1.004 \end{gathered}

Answer: The starting point is (0, 1.004).
