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

What is the MODE of the data - (12, 8, 6, 12, 16, 12) *<br><br> help plsssss
Nostrana [21]

Answer: Mode = 12

Explanation: The mode is the most frequent value, so it is the value that shows up the most. In this case, that would be the value "12" since it shows up three times (while the other values only show up once).
