The area of rectangle = 24 × 8 = 192 cm^2 ;
The area of triangle = ( 16 × h ) / 2 = 8 × h ; where h = the height of the triangle ;
the rectangle and the triangle have equal areas;192 = 8 × h ;
h = 192 ÷ 8 ;
h = 24 cm ;

In a certain year, there were 92 female officials in Congress, which is comprised of the House of Representatives and the Senate
crimeas [40]

Answer:

There are 78 female members of the House of Representatives and 14 female members of the Senate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h equal the amount of female members of the House of Representatives and s equal the amount of female members in the Senate.

Since the amount of female officials in Congress is 92, and is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate, we can represent this as the equation h+s=92

Since there are 64 more female members in the House of Representatives than female Senators, the senators would need 64 more female members to have the same amount as the House of Representatives. We can represent this as h=s+64.

Substituting, we get s+64+s=92, which simplifies to 2s+64=92. Subtracting 64 from both sides, we get 2s=28, which equals to s=14. There are 14 female senators. Substituting back into h+s=92, 14+s=92, and s=78. Therefore, there are 78 female members of the House of Representatives and 14 female members of the Senate.

The geometric sequence graphed shows the number of mold spores in a Petri dish per day (please help!)
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

f(1) = 2

f(n) = 2 × f(n - 1) , n ≥ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the point of coordinates (1 , 2) is on the graph

Then

f(1) = 2

…………………………

We notice that :

f(2) = 4

f(3) = 8

f(4) = 16

16/8 = 8/4 = 4/2 = 2/1 = 2

________________________

This means the common ratio

of the geo sequence = 2

Hence ,

f(n) = 2 × f(n - 1)

A right triangle has an area of 50 square inches. If the triangle is an isosceles triangle, what are the lengths of the legs of
Fed [463]
<span>If this is an isosceles triangle, then it has two 45 degree angles corresponding to two legs of equal length.  Orient the base of this triangle so that it's horizontal, and represent its length by b.  Let h represent the height of the triangle.  Then the area of this right triangle is 50 square inches = (1/2)(b)(h), or A = (b/2)h = 50 in^2.   

Due to the 45 degree angles, the height of this triangle is equal to half the base, or h = b/2.  Thus, (b/2)h = 50 becomes (b/2)(b/2) = 50, or b^2=200. Thus, b = 10sqrt(2), and h=(1/2)(10 sqrt(2)), or h = 5sqrt(2).

The length of one of the legs is the sqrt of  [5sqrt(2)]^2+[5sqrt(2)]^2, or

sqrt(25(2)+25(2)) = sqrt(100) = 10.
