The height of a triangle is 3cm less than the length of its base and is area is 27m,find the height

1 answer:

6 0

Area of a triangle=bh/2

27= x(x-3)/2
27= (x^2-3x)/2
54= x^2-3x
x^2-3x-54=0
(x-9)(x+6)=0

x=9, x=-6.
In this case, x must equal 9 since the base cannot be a negative number.

Final answer: Height=6 m

Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. Car A traveled the distance in 4 h, and Car B traveled the dista

Kamila [148]

40mph for Car B I think. 45mph for Car A. 45(mph) times 4(h) is 180(distance) and 40 times 4.5 is also 180. Sorry if I'm wrong.

Find the measure of b.

Alika [10]

Answer:

b = 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle at the centre is twice the angle on the circle subtended by the same arc, then

a = 0.5 × 110° = 55°

Angles on the circumference subtended by the same arc are congruent, so

b = a = 55°
