A = (1/2) b * h
h = b - 5
42 = (1/2) * b * (b - 5)
42 = (1/2) * b^2 - 5b
multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction (1/2)
2(42) = 2(1/2) *b^2 - 5b
84 = b^2 -5b
Since this is a quadratic equation, subtract 84 from both sides so that it is set = to zero.
b^2 - 5b - 84 = 0
Now factor.
(b - 12)(b + 5) = 0
b - 12 = 0; b = 12
b + 5 = 0; b = -5
You can't have a negative length so the answer is 12m
To check the answer:
A = (1/2) * 12* 7
A = 42 m^2

Help please I’ll make it brainliest!!!!!
mr Goodwill [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

it is very simple, once you remember that "kilo" means 1000, "mili" means 1/1000, and "centi" means 1/100.

and therefore 1 cg = 10 mg, or 1 cm = 10 mm.

"deci" means 1/10.

and therefore 1 dm = 100 mm, 1dg = 100 mg.

1.

9.32 kg = 9.32×1000 = 9320 g

2.

1.429 g = 1.429/1000 = 0.001429 kg

3.

287 g = 287/1000 = 0.287 kg

4.

4.6 L = 4.6×1000 = 4600 mL

5.

0.119 L = 0.119×1000 = 119 mL

6.

9936 mL = 9936/1000 = 9.936 L

7.

26793 mL = 26793/1000 = 26.793 L

8.

0.06 L = 0.06×1000 = 60 mL

9.

170 cg = 170×10 = 1700 mg

10.

2674 cm = 2674/100 = 26.74 m

11.

9.05 mm = 9.05/100 = 0.0905 dm

12.

2 L = 2×1000 = 2000 mL

13.

62.4 L = 62.4×1000 = 62400 mL

14.

99.9 mm = 99.9/1000 = 0.0999 m

15.

4.34 g = 4.34×100 = 434 cg

16.

10 km = 10×1000 m = 10×1000×1000 = 10000000 mm

17.

65 cL = 65/100 = 0.65 L

18.

105 mL = 105/1000 = 0.105 L

19.

0.27 g = 0.27×100 = 27 cg

20.

7777 m = 7777/1000 = 7.777 km
