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

1 answer:

6 0

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

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin, first find Angle SUT.

Knowing that SUH is a straight line, Angle SUT plus 100 degrees should equal 180 degrees. Angle SUT is 80 degrees.

The sum of all the degrees in a triangle is also 180 degrees.

(4x + 4) + (21x - 4) + 80 = 180

25x + 80 = 180

25x = 100

x = 4

In the figure AB =6cm, triangle AOB =60°

viva [34]

Answer:

From the basics of algebra,

a triangle subtended to the center of a circle from the circumference is always isosceles

since the Central angle is 60 and the triangle is isosceles, the other angles are,

$\frac{180 - 60}{2} = 60$

meaning that the triangle is equilateral.

all the other angles are 60.

the radius of the circle is the length of the triangles side,

ie 6cm
