The height of a triangle is 7 ft more than its base. if the area of the triangle is 30 ft^ what is the lentgh of the base

Dmitriy789 [7]4 years ago

Since the area of a triangle is in the form
area=0.5(base)(height)
height=base+7
let base=x
area=0.5(x)(7+x)
30=3.5x+0.5x^2
multiply the equation by 2
60=7x+x^2
subtract 60 from both sides
x^2+7x-60=0
(x-5)(x+12)=0
thus  x=5 or x=-12 since we are only considering positive answers
x=-12 is rejected
so base=5 and height=5+7=12

Why is the sum of a rational number and a irrational number always irrational
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

A rational number is a number able to be put into a fraction, an irrational number is not able to be. Therefore, when adding the two, the rational and the irrational will be irrational. For example, 2 is a rational number, and 1.8903 is irrational. If you add the two, you will get 3.18903, which is unable to be put into a fraction.

What is the distance between the points (-7, 5) and (-2, -7)
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The distance between those points is 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.    (x2-x1) = (-2 - -7) = 5

2.   (y2-y1) = (-7 - 5) = -12

3.   (5)2 + (-12)2 = 25 + 144 = 169

4.   √169 = 13

5.   13

Find f(x) if it is known that f(x−6)=12x−72.
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

f(x)=12x

Step-by-step explanation

We know that f(x) is our y-coordinate and x is the x-coordinate

Next we should insert x-6 as x in the equation

This is f(x)=12(x-6)-72

But if you look at this that leads to 12x-72 (ignore y-intercept)

That is our first equation  

This means that if you take out -6 from the x

You will get f(x)=12x

(Also do you go to RSM?)
