Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets start by labeling the triangle. Lets say the height is x and the base is x-16.
Next, we know the area of the triangle is 96, so we should make an equation. The area (96) of a triangle is (b*h)/2. So lets substitute.
96=[(x-16)*x]/2
Now, we should simplify the equation. Let us start by moving the /2 to the other side and making it *2.
192=(x-16)*x
Open parenthesis and get
192=x^2-16x
simplify and get
x=24
x is the height so the base must be x-16.
base=8, height=24
Answer:
hence the value of x is either 5 or 2
x=5 or x=2
Answer:
d-{1,6}
Step-by-step explanation:
See the picture section.
Distance = rate * time (I will abbreviate as d = rt)
d = rt, so r = d/t
r = 20mi/24min
= 0.833333 mi/min.
d = rt again for the new time
d = 0.8333333 mi/min * 6 min = 5 miles
