Answer:
The rational number is : 37/140

Explanation:
The first number given is three sevenths which can be written as 3/7
The second number given is one tenth which can be written as 1/10

Now, we want to get the midpoint between these two numbers. The midpoint can be calculated as follows:
midpoint = (first number + second number) / 2
midpoint = [(3/7) + (1/10)] / 2
midpoint = 37/140

Hope this helps :)

The height of a triangle is 5 cm shorter than its base. If the area of the triangle is 25 cm2, find the height of the triangle.

Olin [163]

Answer:

$h = 5\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call B at the base of the triangle and call h at the height of the triangle. Then we know that:

The height of a triangle is 5 cm shorter than its base. This means that:

$h = B-5$ .

The area of the triangle is 25 cm²

By definition the area of a triangle is:

$A = 0.5Bh$

For this triangle we know that $A = 25\ cm^2$ and $h = B-5$ . We substitute these values in the equation and solve for B.

$25 = 0.5B (B-5)$

$0.5B ^ 2-\frac{5}{2}B-25 = 0$

Now we use the quadratic formula to solve the equation.

For an equation of the form $ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0$ the quadratic formula is:

$B=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

In this case note that: $a=0.5,\ \ b=-\frac{5}{2}\ \ c=-25$

Then:

$B=\frac{-(-\frac{5}{2})\±\sqrt{(-\frac{5}{2})^2-4(0.5)(-25)}}{2(0.5)}$

$B=\frac{\frac{5}{2}\±\sqrt{\frac{25}{4}+50}}{1}$

$B=\frac{5}{2}\±\frac{15}{2}$

The solutions are:

$B_1=\frac{5}{2}+\frac{15}{2}=10$

$B_2=\frac{5}{2}-\frac{15}{2}=-5$

For this problem we take the positive solution.

$B=10\ cm$

Now we substitute the value of B in the equation to find the height h

$h = 10-5$

$h = 5\ cm$

A scale factor of 2 means the dimensions are multiplied by 2.

15 x 2 = 30

Joe has created a budget and has allocated $250 per month for food. at the end of the month he finds that he actually spent $340

So he is over budget by $90 and he needs to allocate his bills to allow for it
