The base is x.
The height is 5 feet more than the base, so it's x+5.
The area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and its height. The area is 204 square feet.

x(x+5)=204 \\
x^2+5x=204 \\
x^2+5x-204=0 \\
x^2+17x-12x-204=0 \\
x(x+17)-12(x+17)=0 \\
(x-12)(x+17)=0 \\
x-12=0 \ \lor \ x+17=0 \\
x=12 \ \lor \ x=-17

The length of the base of a parallelogram must be a positive number, so x=12.

\hbox{the base:} \\ x=12 \\ \\
\hbox{the height:} \\ x+5=12+5=17

The base is 12 feet long, the height is 17 feet long.

What is the slope of all lines perpendicular to the line y=(2/3)x+7
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The slope is -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>A line that is perpendicular to another has the slope that has the sign reversed and is the reciprocal. </u>

Example:  Find the line perpendicular to y = 3x

First, you flip the sign which makes 3 into -3

Next, you make the reciprocal which makes -3 into <u>-1/3 </u>

Problem:  Find the line perpendicular to y = (2/3)x + 7

First, you flip the sign which makes 2/3 into -2/3

Next, you make the reciprocal which makes -2/3 into <u>-3/2</u>

Answer:  The slope is -3/2

The distance an object travels is determined by how fast it goes and for how long it moves.If an object speed remains constant,t
stepladder [879]

Answer:

250 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Your formula is d=r(t)

d=distance r=speed t=time

In this equation it is asking you how far will you travel if your speed is 50 miles per hour, and the time is 5 hours.

So, using the equation above insert the known numbers and it should look like this: d=50(5)           ( distance is unknown / speed is 50 / time is 5  )  

Now you can find the distance. All you do is multiply 50 times 5 which equals 250.  

So the correct answer is C. 250 miles
