A) Height -7 = base
B) .5 * height * base = 60
Substituting A into B
B) .5 * height * (height -7) = 60
B) .5*height^2 -3.5*height = 60
B) .5*height^2 -3.5*height -60 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:
Height = 15
Subtracting 7 gives us the base length
Base = 8
**************************************************************
Double-Check
.5 * 15 * 8 = 60
Answer:
3/10
Step-by-step explanation:
fouth grade students at Estrabook make up 0.3 percents of the students at school
The fraction is therefore equivalent to
= 3/10
Answer:
The constant of proportionality is 1/4.
Step-by-step explanation:
3:9 and if you reduce it again, 1:3
Slope = (y₂- y₁) / (x₂- x₁)
Points C( 3, -5) and D (6, 0) compare to (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂)
Slope = (0 - -5) / (6- 3) = (0+5) / (3) = 5/3
Slope = 5/3
Equation of line given a slope and point, y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
m = 5/3, let point C( 3, -5) = (x₁, y₁)
y - - 5 = (5/3) (x - 3)
y + 5 = (5/3)(x - 3)
3(y + 5) = 5(x - 3)
3y + 15 = 5x - 15
3y = 5x - 15 - 15
3y = 5x - 30
Hence the equation of the line is 3y = 5x - 30
