Answer:
Formula
A = 1/2 b * h
Substitute
Area = 60 in^2
b = x
h = 2x - 1
60= 1/2 * x * (2x - 1)
Solve
60 = 1/2 * x (2x - 1) Multiply by 2
60 * 2 = x(2x - 1)
120 = x (2x - 1) Remove the brackets.
120 = 2x^2 - x Subtract 120 from both sides.
2x^2 - x - 120 = 0 This factors.
(2x + 15)(x - 8) = 0
Solve for x
2x + 15 = 0
2x = - 15
x = -15/2
x = - 7.5 a negative measurement is useless. Discard this answer.
x - 8 = 0
x = 8
Area (Check)
base = 8
height = 16 - 1 = 15
Area = 1/2 * 8 * 15 = 60 as it should
Answer
Use Area = 1/2 * b * h to find the base and the height.Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
i got 7 units squared
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Area has units of squared length.
The answer is -3
-12c = 43 - 7
-12c = 36
÷ -12 ÷-12
c = -3
6x-1=4x+6
subtracting 4x from each side
2x-1=6
adding 1 to each side
2x=7
divide by 2
x=7/2 or 3.5
check: 6(7/2) -1 =4(7/2)+6
21-1 =14+6
20=20 correct
