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

Answer:

1) f(g(2)) = 24

2) f(g(-1)) = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) GIven f(x) = x²+2x and g(x) = 2x

f(g(x)) = f(2x)

f(2x) = (2x)² + 2(2x)

f(2x) = 4x² + 4x

f(g(x)) = 4x² + 4x

f(g(2)) = 4(2)² + 4(2)

f(g(2)) = 16+8

f(g(2)) = 24

2) f(x) = x+1 and g(x) = 5x

f(g(x)) = f(5x)

f(5x)= 5x + 1

f(g(x)) = 5x + 1

f(g(-1)) = 5(-1) + 1

f(g(-1)) = -5+1

f(g(-1)) = -4

Can you draw a trapoziod with three right angels
artcher [175]

Answer:

  B, C, E, F

Step-by-step explanation:

The following relationships apply.

  • the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
  • the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent
  • the diagonals of a rhombus meet at right angles
  • a rectangle is a parallelogram
  • a parallelogram with congruent adjacent sides is a rhombus

__

CEDF has diagonals that bisect each other, and it has congruent adjacent sides. It is a parallelogram and a rhombus, but not a rectangle. (B and C are true.)

ABCD has congruent diagonals that bisect each other. It is a parallelogram and a rectangle, but not a rhombus. (There is no indication adjacent sides are congruent, or that the diagonals meet at right angles.) (E and F are true.)

The true statements are B, C, E, F.
