The area of a parallelogram is 60 feet the height 5 feet how long is the base

1 answer:

5 0

Hello!

We have to use a certain formula to find the area of a parallelogram. The formula is:

A = bh

Since we already have the area and the base of the parallelogram, we will be able to find the height!

Notice how we multiply the base by the height to find the area? Well, we'll have to do the opposite to find one of its dimensions.

What's the opposite of multiplication? Division!

Formula for base:

B = A ÷ h

Substitute:

B = 60 ÷ 5

B = 12

ANSWER:

The base is 12 feet long.

Good Day!

Count the number of cubes in the first layer.

There is 16 cubes in the first layer.

Now divide the total number of cubes by the cubes per layer:

48 cubes / 16 cubes per layer = 3 layers.

The speed of the boat going with a current is 20 mph. When the boat goes against the current, the speed is 16 mph. Find the spee

adoni [48]

Answer:

The speed of the boat in still water is 18 mph.

The speed of the current is 2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the boat in still water.

Let y represent the speed of the current.

When the boat goes against the current, the speed is 16 mph. Assuming it traveled against the current while going upstream, its total speed would be (x - y) mph. It means that

x - y = 16 (equation 1)

Going downstream, the boat averages 20 mph. Assuming it traveled with the current, its total speed would be (x + y) mph. It means that

x + y = 20 (equation 2)

Adding both equations, it becomes

2x = 36

x = 36/2

x = 18 mph

Substituting x = 18 into equation 1, it becomes

18 - y = 16

y = 18 - 16

y = 2 mph

Answer:

The mean absolute deviation of this data $\{9,13,43,55\}$ is $MAD =19$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean absolute deviation (MAD) of a dataset is the average distance between each data point and the mean. It gives us an idea about the variability in a dataset.

The steps to find the MAD include:
