Answer:

b=4, h=5

Step-by-step explanation:b(b+1) divided by 2 is 10, so b(b+1)=20 so b^2  + b =20 so b^2 +b -20=0 which equals (b+5)(b-4), giving us solutions -5 and 4. However,  -5 is invalid bc it is negative, so base must be 4 making height 5

The sides of the triangle occur in a ratio of 4 : 7 : 2, so if <em>x</em> is some positive number, then we can write each side's length in terms of <em>x</em> as 4<em>x</em>, 7<em>x</em>, and 2<em>x</em>.

The perimeter is 299 yd, so

4<em>x</em> + 7<em>x</em> + 2<em>x</em> = 299 yd

13<em>x</em> = 299 yd

<em>x</em> = (299 yd) / 13

<em>x</em> = 23 yd

Then the sides of the triangle have lengths of

4<em>x</em> = 4 • 23 yd = 104 yd

7<em>x</em> = 7 • 23 yd = 161 yd

2<em>x</em> = 2 • 23 yd = 46 yd

"Median" here refers to the side length between the shortest and longest sides, so the answer would be 104 yd.

A car is traveling at a speed of 108 kilometers per hour. What is the cars speed in kilometers per minute? How many kilometers w
cluponka [151]

The distance travelled by the car will be 3.6km in 2 minutes.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Speed, s = 108 km/hr

s in km/min = ?

1 hr = 60 min

So,

108 km/hr = \frac{108}{60} km/min

                 = 1.8 km/min

time, t = 2 min

Distance, d = ?

We know:

distance = speed X time

d = 1.8 X 2\\\\d = 3.6km

Therefore, the distance travelled by the car will be 3.6km in 2 minutes.
