The height of the triangle is: 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area = A = 54 square inches

Let be be the base of the triangle and

h be the height

Then

b = 3h

The area of triangle is given by:

$Area = 0.5 * base * height\\Putting\ values\\54 = 0.5 * 3h * h\\54 = 1.5h^2\\\frac{54}{1.5} = \frac{1.5h^2}{1.5}\\h^2 = 36$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{h^2} = \sqrt{36}\\h = 6$

Hence,

The height of the triangle is: 6 inches

You have 5 pairs of pants, 8 shirts, and 3 ties - how many different outfits can you make?

SVEN [57.7K]

First they have to decide on a pair of pants and they have 8 different choices. For each of those choices they have a choice of 5 different shirts, so that gives them 8 times 5 = 40 different pant/shirt combinations. For each those 40 possibilities, they have 3 different ties they could select, so altogether they have 40 times 3 = 120 different outfits.

What transformation of the parent function f(x) is made to get 4f(x+2)

LenKa [72]

Answer: A vertical stretch of 4 and a translation of -2 units in the x-direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Changes of the parent function can be written, in this case as <em>a</em>f(x)(x - <em>k</em>) where <em>a</em> is the stretch factor and <em>k</em> is the movement left or right on the x-axis.

In this case, a = 4 and k = 2. Since the k is negative, the function will be moved -2 units on the x-axis.

Which one?????? i need help

borishaifa [10]

<h3>Given</h3>

x + 2 ≥ 6

the graph for the solution

<h3>Solution</h3>

We can solve for x by subtacting 2 from both sides of the inequality.

... x + 2 -2 ≥ 6 -2

... x ≥ 4 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

The answer is read, "x is greater than or equal to 4." This means the solution is those real numbers that are to the right of 4 on the number line, and including 4 on the number line. Numbers to the left of 4 are <em>not included</em>. The inclusion of the number 4 is shown by putting a solid dot there (not an open circle).

The appropriate choice is the 3rd one.
