Given

base=2x+6
height=x+4

and
area=56 square units

56=1/2 times (2x+6) times (x+4)
times bot sides by 2
112=(2x+6)(x+4)
expand
112=2x²+14x+24
divide both sides by 2
56=x²+7x+12
minus 56 both sides
0=x²+7x-44
factor
waht 2 numbers mulitply to get -44 and add to get 7
11 and -4
0=(x-4)(x+11)
set to 0

x-4=0
x=4

x+11=0
x=-11
false, measures can't be negative

x=4


height=x+4
height=4+4=8


base=2x+6
base=2(4)+6=8+6=14



x=4 and base=14 and height=8

Which formula is best used to prove that a figure has congruent sides?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruent sides mean that they have "EQUAL" lengths.

So, to prove to sides are congruent means that their lengths are equal.

Slope gives the slope of a line. So this can't be it.

Area gives the area of figure. Nothing to do with congruency of 2 lines.

Midpoint formula gives the coordinates of the midpoint. Nothing here.

Distance formula gives the length of sides. So, this is the one we can use to prove that a figure has congruent sides. We can place the figure in coordinate system and find the length of 2 respective sides using "distance formula"

Correct answer is D

katovenus [111]

The equation is 2.5x + 2y - 2 = 0.

<h2>Linear system</h2>

It is a system of an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. A one-dimension figure that has no width. It is a combination of infinite points side by side.

Given

He bought 2.5 pounds of apples that are x dollars a pound.

And 2 bags of lettuce for y dollars each.

The total cost is $2.

<h3>To find </h3>

The equation of this.

<h3>How to find the equation?</h3>

He bought 2.5 pounds of apples that are x dollars a pound.

Then the expression is 2.5x

And 2 bags of lettuce for y dollars each.

Then the expression is 2y

The total cost is $2.

Then the expression will be

    2.5x + 2y = 2

2.5x + 2y - 2 = 0

Thus the equation is 2.5x + 2y - 2 = 0.

How do you use proportions to solve percent problems​
exis [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

EXAMPLE #1:

What number is 75% of 4?   (or   Find 75% of 4.)

The PERCENT always goes over 100.

   (It's a part of the whole 100%.)

4 appears with the word of:

   It's the WHOLE and goes on the bottom.

A proportion showing one fraction  with PART as the numerator and 4 as the denominator equal to another fraction with 75 as the numerator and 100 as the denominator.

We're trying to find the missing PART (on the top).

In a proportion the cross-products are equal:   So 4 times 75 is equal to 100 times the PART.

The missing PART equals 4 times 75 divided by 100.

(Multiply the two opposite corners with numbers; then divide by the other number.)

4 times 75 = 100 times the part

300 = 100 times the part

300/100 = 100/100 times the part

3 =   the part

A proportion showing the denominator,  4, times the diagonally opposite 75; divided by  100.
