Answer:

base = 12 cm

Altitude = 16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Area of the triangle:</h2>

        \sf \boxed{Area \ of \ triangle = \dfrac{1}{2}*base*height}

base = x cm

altitude or height = (x + 4) cm

\sf \dfrac{1}{2}*x*(x+4) = 96\\\\

x * (x + 4) = 96*2

x*x + x*4 = 192

x² + 4x   = 192

x² + 4x - 192 = 0

Sum = 4

Product = -192

Factors =  (-12) , 16

When we add (-12) & 16, we get 4. When we multiply (-12) & 16, we get (-192).

Rewrite the middle term using the factors.

x² + 16x - 12x - 192 = 0

x(x + 16) -12(x + 16) = 0

(x + 16)(x - 12) = 0

x - 12 = 0     or x + 16 = 0

x = 12             or x = -16

Ignore x = -16 as measurements won't be in negative value.

x = 12

Base = 12 cm

Altitude = 12 + 4 = 16 cm

Answer:

base = 12 cm , altitude = 16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} ba ( b is the base and a the altitude )

here a = b + 4 , then

\frac{1}{2} b(b + 4) = 96 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

b(b + 4) = 192

b² + 4b = 192 ( subtract 192 from both sides )

b² + 4b - 192 = 0 ← in standard quadratic form

(b + 16)(b - 12) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for b

b + 16 = 0 ⇒ b = - 16

b - 12 = 0 ⇒ b = 12

however, b > 0 then b = 12

so base = 12 cm and altitude = b + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16 cm

Amanda teaches the art of quilling to four students these students each teach the art of quilling to four other students if this
il63 [147K]

Answer:

341

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of people who know the art of quilting in each successive generation is

1, 4, 16, …

These numbers represent a geometric sequence where each term has the form

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹

In your sequence, a₁ = 1 and r = 4.

Then, the formula for your sequence is

aₙ = 4ⁿ⁻¹

Sum over five generations

The formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric series is

Sum = a₁[(1 - rⁿ)/(1 - r)]

Sum = 1[(1 - 4⁵)/(1 - 4)

       = (1 - 1024)/(-3)

       = -1023/-3

       = 341

If the process continues for five generations, 341 people will know the art of quilting.

How many different books did the children read
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

16 books

Step-by-step explanation:

if Sandra read 5 books and Deacon read 6 and Breanna read 7 and they all one same book, then that means sandra read 4 different books then Deacon and Breanna. Deacon read 5 different books then Sandra and Breanna. Breanna read 6 different books then Deacon and Sandra.

So Sandras 4 books plus Deacons 5 books plus Breannas 6 books equals up to 15 but, now you need to add the one book they all read which makes the answer 16.
