The area of a triangle can be calculated as half the product of base length and height. We want the area to be no greater than 10 in².
a) (1/2)(4)(2x-3) ≤ 10
b) 4x -6 ≤ 10 . . . . . simplify
... 4x ≤ 16 . . . . . . . .add 6
... x ≤ 4 . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
c) The maximum value of (2x -3) in is (2·4 -3) in = 5 in.
The triangle should be no more than 5 in high to have an area less than 10 in².
Answer:
B- One-Quarter
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. You have that the following information given in the problem above: The<span> photograph is reduced by a scale factor of 3/8 and the original had a length of 20 inches,
2- Therefore you have:
length=20 inches-</span>(20 inches x 3/8)<span>
length=20 inches-7.5 inches
length=12.5 inches
3- Then, as you can see, the answer is: 12.5 inches.</span>
