Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

Suppose the base of right triangle sail is b

Suppose the height of right triangle sail is h

It is given that, it is three times higher as it is wide.

h=3b

Area of right triangle is A = \frac{1}{2}*b*h

6=\frac{1}{2}*b*h

Plugging the value of h in terms of b

6=\frac{1}{2}*b*(3b)

b^2=4

b=2

Hence height h = 3*2 = 6

Hecne the height of sail is 6 meters.  :  Answer

Hope it will help :)

12x - 5 = 8x - x + 50<br> Help please show work and check the solution
Inga [223]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

12x - 5 = 8x - x + 50 \\ 12x - 5 = 7x + 50 \\ 12x - 5 - 7x = 7x + 50 - 7x \\ 12x - 7x - 5 = 50  \\ 5x - 5 = 50 \\ 5x - 5 + 5 = 50 + 5 \\ 5x = 55 \\ x = 11

and check:

12(11) - 5 = 8(11) - (11) + 50 \\ 132 - 5 = 77 + 50 \\ 127 = 127
