The base of a triangle is 3 cm longer than its altitude. The area of the triangle is 35cm^2. Find the altitude. (Hint: use the a

rea of a triangle. 1/2 * base * altitude.)

The base is 3+(x), altitude is x so substitute. Now we know the area of a triangle is base X height X 1/2. Substitute again! 1/2 (3+x)(x)=35. Multiply both sides by 2 to cancel out the 1/2. Now you have (x)(x+3)=70 and you have to foil out the left side x^2+3x=70. Subtract 70 on both sides x^2+3x-70=0. Find two numbers that multiply to -70 and add to 3. Solve (x+10)(x-7)=0. the x value is 7. since you can't have negative length values. Substitute 7 into 3+x for the base so you know the base is 10 and the height is 7.

7<br> Write an equation of a line<br> with slope of 23 and<br> y-intercept -6.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

y = 23x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for line is y =  mx + b

m is the slope, so plug in 23

b is the y intercept, so plug in -6

So it would be y = 23x + (-6), which simpify into y = 23x - 6

A jewelry prism with a length of 9 inches and a height of 4 1/4 inches. The volume of the jewelry box is 283 1/2 cubic inches. W
masha68 [24]

Answer:

volume = (length × Width × height)

(567/2) = (9×) × (17/4) × (w)

283.5 = 38.25w

w= 7.41inches

Figure ABCD is a rhombus where the m∠ABC = 84 and m∠ABE = 3x − 6. Solve for x. Rhombus ABCD with diagonals AC and BD and point E
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

<u> x = 16</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attched figure

We should know that, one of the properties of the rhombus is the diagonals bisect the angles of the rhombus.

Given:

m∠ABC = 84  and m∠ABE = 3x − 6

So, m∠ABE = 0.5 * m∠ABC = 0.5 * 84 = 42

∴ 3x - 6 = 42

Solve for x

3x = 42 + 6 = 48

x = 48/3 = 16

<u>∴ x = 16</u>
