Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
so old triangle we have 1/2 x b x h = 48
new triangle has base 3 times as long and height is half as long
so we would get:
1/2 x (3B) x (1/2H) = area
rewrite as 1/2 x 3/2 x b x H = area
divide by original are os 1/2 x b x h and you end up with 3/2
so new area = 3/2 x old area
new area = 3/2 * 48 = 72 square inches
Answer:
1 st expression is used in this
Answer:
18 sq. unit
you can draw it on no. line
actually it's rectangle with l=3 and b=6
Simplify:
5(a + 5) + -3 = 3(2 + -1a)
Reorder the terms:
5(5 + a) + -3 = 3(2 + -1a)
(5 * 5 + a * 5) + -3 = 3(2 + -1a)
(25 + 5a) + -3 = 3(2 + -1a)
Reorder the terms again:
25 + -3 + 5a = 3(2 + -1a)
Combine like terms:
]25 + -3 = 22
22 + 5a = 3(2 + -1a)
22 + 5a = (2 * 3 + -1a * 3)
22 + 5a = (6 + -3a)
Solve:
22 + 5a = 6 + -3a
To solve for variable 'a':
You have to move all terms containing A to the left, all other terms to the right.
Then add '3a' to each side of the equation:
22 + 5a + 3a = 6 + -3a + 3a
Combine like terms:
5a + 3a = 8a
22 + 8a = 6 + -3a + 3a
Combine like terms again:
-3a + 3a = 0
22 + 8a = 6 + 0
22 + 8a = 6
Add '-22' to each side of the equation.:
22 + -22 + 8a = 6 + -22
Combine like terms:
22 + -22 = 0
0 + 8a = 6 + -22
8a = 6 + -22
Combine like terms once more:
6 + -22 = -16
8a = -16
Divide each side by '8'.
a = -2
Simplify:
a = -2
Answer: a=-2
Hope I could help! :)
