The answer is 12.92 in, 12 in, and 11.2 in

The area (A) of the triangle is:
A = s * a / 2
s - side
a - altitude

We know:
A = 84 in²
s1 = 13 in
s2 = 14 in
s3 = 15 in
a1 = ?
a2 = ?
a3 = ?

_______
a1 = ?
A = s1 * a1 / 2
84 = 13 * a1 / 2
84 * 2 = 13 * a1
168 = 13 * a1
a1 = 168 / 13
a1 = 12.92 in

_________
a2 = ?
A = s2 * a2 / 2
84 = 14 * a2 / 2
84 * 2 = 14 * a2
168 = 14 * a2
a2 = 168 / 14
a2 = 12 in


_______
a3 = ?
A = s3 * a3 / 2
84 = 15 * a3 / 2
84 * 2 = 15 * a3
168 = 15 * a3
a3 = 168 / 15
a3 = 11.2 in

Daniel [21]

Answer:

On the moon, both will land at the same time. The marble resistance is comparable to it's gravitational acceleration at very fast speed (terminal velocity), so it's free fall acceleration is halted fairly slowly where as the coin is able to accelerate at the same rate (9.8 m/s^2) to a higher speed before air resistance cancels out gravity.

Golf balls can be purchased in a 3-pack for $4.95 or a 12-pack for $18.95. Which is the better buy? Which Item cost less per gol
natka813 [3]
I think the better buy would be the 12-pack because the quality of the ball and the brand would determine the price. Golf balls do the same thing, you hit than lose it than buy a whole new pack of balls. The 3-pack cost less because it’s $4.95 and the 12-pack cost $18.95. By $14 much.
