Answer:

D. 4in, 12in

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle  = 24in²

Unknown:

Base and height of the triangle = ?

Solution:

The area of a triangle  = \frac{1}{2} x base x height

   From the problem,

        base  = \frac{1}{3} x height

let the base  = b

            height  = h

         b =  \frac{1}{3}h

          h = 3b

Input into the formula of area;

       24  =  \frac{1}{2} x b x 3b

   Mulitply through by 2;

       48 = 3b²

         b² = 16

         b = √16 = 4

So, h = 3b= 3 x 4 = 12in

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The slope of the line is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.

I have created an illustration which is attached below in order to help you understand the situation. As we are told the passenger rode the subway from point (0 , 0) to point (-2, 0). Then he rode the subway from point (-2, 0) to the final destination of point (-2 , -10). In order to find the value of the slope we need to use the slope formula which is

Slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}- x_{1} }

Now we just plug in the values of the starting point and final destination in order to find the slope of the line.

Slope = \frac{(-10) - (0)}{(-2)-(0)}

Slope = \frac{-10}{-2}

Slope =5

Finally we can see that the slope of the line is 5

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Both are not earning different salaries.

If a study determines the difference in average salary for subpopulations of mechanical engineers and civil engineers is NOT significant, then the subpopulations of mechanical and civil engineers are not earning different salaries.
Study determines that there is not any significant study so thats why both are not earning.
