A plot of land shaped as a right triangle has a base of 80 feet and an area of 6000 square feet. What is the length, in feet, of
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

h = 170 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent the area, b the base and h the height of this triangle.   The area formula is

A = (1/2)(b)(h).

Here A = 6000 ft^2 = (1/2)(80 ft)(h).

Solve this for the height, (h):

6000 ft^2 = (40 ft)(h), or

      6000 ft^2

h = ---------------- = 150 ft

         40 ft

Now we know the leg lengths:  150 ft and 80 ft.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse:

h^2 = 80^2 + 150^2, or

h^2 = 6400 +22500 = 28900

Taking the square root of this figure, we get the length of the hypotenuse:

h = 170 ft

What is the value of x ? <br> Enter your answer in the box . ° ?
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

307°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all the angles of a hexagon is equal to 900°.

So,

112+x+120+100+128+133 = 900

593+x = 900

x = 900-593

x = 307°

So, the value of x is equal to 307°.
