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

Two agent angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio 1 by 3 find the measures of all the angles​
zalisa [80]

Answer:

The measure of all the angles are;

45°, 135°, 45°, and 135°

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The ratio of two adjacent angles of the parallelogram = 1:3

Let x represent one of the adjacent angles, and let y represent the other adjacent angle

Given that two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary, we have;

x + y = 180°

x:y = 1:3

Therefore, y = 3 × x = 3·x, which gives;

x + 3·x = 180°

4·x = 180°

x = 180°/4 = 45°

y = 3 × x = 3 × 45° = 135°

Given that opposite interior angles of a parallelogram are equal, we have, the measure of all the angles are;

45°, 135°, 45°, and 135°.
