The formula for a triangle's area =1/2bh. Since you already have the height, and area, plug those in.

36=1/2b(6)
36=b3
12=b
Your base is 12 feet.

The sum of three numbers is 91. the third number is 2 times the first. the first number is 7 less than the second. what are the
PolarNik [594]
Let's call the three numbers a, b, and c.
Now we can turn the information we are given into equations.
The sum of the three numbers is 26:
a + b + c = 26
Twice the first (2 times a) minus the second (2 times a minus b) is 2 less than the third:
2a - b = c - 2
The third is the second minus three times the first:
c = b - 3a
Counting what we have here, we now have three equations and three variables: enough to solve the whole system of equations.
The third equation gives us c directly, so we can start there and substitute into the second equation:
2a - b = (b - 3a) - 2
2a + 3a = b + b - 2
5a = 2b - 2
Let's get one of these variables on its own so we can continue with the substitution:
5a + 2 = 2b
b = (5a + 2) / 2
Now we have c in terms of a and b, and b in terms of just a. So let's use the first equation and substitute to find out what a is:
a + b + c = 26
a + (5a + 2) / 2 + (b - 3a) = 26
a + (5/2)a + 1 + (5a + 2) / 2 - 3a = 26
7/2a + 1 + 5/2a + 1 - 3a = 26
12/2a + 2 - 3a = 26
6a - 3a = 26 - 2
3a = 24
a = 8
At last, we have solved for one of the variables. Now, plug this into the equation for b to find b:
b = (5a + 2) / 2 = (5(8) + 2) / 2 = (40 + 2) / 2 = 42 / 2 = 21
Now we have a and b. Time to find c!
a + b + c = 26
(8) + (21) + c = 26
29 + c = 26
c = 26 - 29
c = -3
<span>So our values for a, b, and c are 8, 21, and -3.</span>

Ian's parents asked him to creat a budget for his $ 1,000 monthly income . He determines that he would like to save the remainin
Kay [80]

35%

First, we need to find the amount of money that is being spent. Add all of the amounts together.

$350 + $100 + $120 + $80

$450 + $120 + 80

$570 + $80

$650

So, Ian spends $650 of his budget each month. How much does that leave for savings? Just subtract $650 from $1,000 to find that he saves $350 each month.

Now, you just need to find the percentage. The percentage is the same as the numerator in a fraction with a denominator of 100, so x% = x/100. For example, 1% = 1/100. $350 / $1000 = x / 100

How do we turn 1,000 into 100? Divide it by 10. And if you do something to the denominator of a fraction, you have to do it to the numerator as well. So, divide $350 by 10 and divide $1000 by 10, leaving you with $35 / $100 = x / 100

Multiply both sides by 100 to get x by itself. This leaves you with 35 = x, so 35% of Ian’s budget with go towards saving.

The gestation time of cats is approximately 68 days with a standard deviation of 3.9 days and is approximately Normally distribu
avanturin [10]

Answer:  90% confidence interval would be (66.92,69.08).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of kittens = n = 35

Mean = 68 days

Standard deviation = 3.9 days

We need to find the 90% confidence interval.

So, z= 1.645

So, intervals would be

\bar{x}\pm z\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=68\pm 1.645\times \dfrac{3.9}{\sqrt{35}}\\\\=68\pm 1.08\\\\=(68-1.08,68+1.08)\\\\=(66.92,69.08)

Hence, 90% confidence interval would be (66.92,69.08).
