The area of a right triangle is found using the formula 1/2 x base x height.

Using the provided information the equation becomes:

60 = 1/2 * 5x * (3x-1)

Combine 1/2 and 5x:

60 = 5x/2 * (3x-1)

Multiply each term by 2/5:

24 = 3x^2 - x

Subtract 24 from each side:

3x^2 - x - 24 = 0

Now factor the polynomial:

(x-3)(3x+8) = 0

Solve for each x for 0:

3-3 = 0, so x = 3

3x +8 = 0 : subtract 8 from each side:

3x = -8

divide both sides by 3: x = -8/3

Since a side of a triangle cannot be a negative value, we now know x = 3

Now replace x in each side with 3 and solve:

5x = 5(3) = 5 x 3 = 15

3x-1 = 3(3)-1 = 9-1 = 8

The equation that shows the relationship between the number of baskets (b) made from outside the three-point line and the number of points scored (p) is p = 3b

In basket ball, If a shot is successfully scored from outside of the three-point line, three points are awarded.

The variables are b and p.

where

p = number of points scored

b = number of basket made outside the three point line.

<h3>What is Variables?</h3>

Variables are numbers represented with letters in a mathematical expression.

Therefore, the equation that shows the relationship between the number of baskets (b) made from outside the three-point line and the number of points scored (p) is as follows:

  • p = 3b
