Answer:

h = 24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a triangle is

A = (1/2)bh where b is the base and h is the height.

We are told that the base is 5 times the height, this translates to

b = 5h, so we can rewrite our formula to

A = (1/2)(5h)(h) or

A = (1/2)5h²

We are given A = 1,440, so plug that in and solve for h...

1,440 = (1/2)5h²

2,880 = 5h² (multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction)

576 = h² (divide both sides by 5 to get the h value by itself)

24 = h (take the square root of both sides)

A class of 40 students elected a class president. There were 12 votes for Candidate A, and 18 votes for Candidate B.

Hey there, Bulgogi!

The correct answer will be the first one since [I'm assuming] you know that to calculate the percentage of something, it's the amount of that something divided by the total amount but since only 30 students voted [12+18] multiplied by 100.

So, we are calculating the percentage on votes and 12 students voted for Candidate A so our Numerator will be 12 and our Denominator will be the total amount of student who voted, so 30 [or 12+18]

Once put into a fraction, we will get $\frac{12}{12+18}$ which would be equals to 2/5 or 0.4. Now we multiply by 100 and we get a total of 40% for Candidate A.

Please help!

The earning of the salesperson is an illustration of a linear function.

The possible functions in the two scenarios are: $\mathbf{I(s) = 0.1s + 2500}$ and $\mathbf{I(s) = 0.05s + 2000}\\$

The function is given as:

$\mathbf{I(s) = 0.1s + 2000}$

When the base salary is increased, a possible function is:

$\mathbf{I(s) = 0.1s + 2500}$

This is so, because 2500 is greater than 2000

When the commission rate is decreased, a possible function is:

$\mathbf{I(s) = 0.05s + 2000}\\$

This is so, because 0.05 is less than 0.1

So, the possible functions in the two scenarios are:

$\mathbf{I(s) = 0.1s + 2500}$ and $\mathbf{I(s) = 0.05s + 2000}\\$

See attachment for the graphs of both functions

intro urna sunt 24 de bile albe si 16 bile negre. se extrage la intamplare o bila . probabilitatea ca bila extrasa sa fie alba e

garri49 [273]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of white balls = 24

Number of black balls = 16

Unknown:

The probability that white ball is drawn at random = ?

Solution:

The probability of an event is the likelihood of such an event to occur. That an event will occur has a probability of 1, it will not occur have a probability of zero.

In this problem, the total number of outcomes of drawing any ball has sample space of (24 + 16)outcomes = 40outcomes.

Probability of an event = $\frac{number of successful outcome}{sample space}$

Pr(white balls) = $\frac{24}{40}$ = $\frac{3}{5}$
