1 pound = 0.0005 tons

40,000 x 0.005 = 20

So there are 20 tons in 40,000 pounds so your answer would be C.

Hope this Helps!!

Answer:

52.9 inches .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangular indentation has an area of 100 in.² and the base and height of this traingle are represented by expressions 3x and x+3 respectively . We need to find out the perimeter to the nearest tenth.

As we know that the area of triangle is ,

$\rm\longrightarrow Area_{\triangle}=\dfrac{1}{2}(base)(height)$

Substituting the respective values,

$\rm\longrightarrow 100\ =\dfrac{1}{2}(x+3)(3x)\\\\\rm\longrightarrow 2(100) = 3x(x+3)\\\\\rm\longrightarrow200 = 3x^2+9x\\\\\rm\longrightarrow 3x^2+9x-200=0$

On using the Quadratic formula , we have;

$\rm\longrightarrow x =\dfrac{-9\pm\sqrt{9^2-4(3)(-200)}}{2(3)} \\\\\rm\longrightarrow x =\dfrac{-9\pm \sqrt{81+1200}}{6}\\\\\rm\longrightarrow x =\dfrac{-9\pm \sqrt{1281}}{6}$

On simplifying above , we will get ,

$\rm\longrightarrow x = 6.802,-9.802$

Since sides can't be negative, therefore,

$\rm\longrightarrow\underline{\underline{ x =6.802}}$

Therefore ,

$\rm\longrightarrow Base = 3x =3(6.802)in = 20.406\ in\\$
$\rm\longrightarrow Height = x +3=6.802+3=9.802\ in$

Next let's find out the hypotenuse using Pythagoras theorem, as ;

$\rm\longrightarrow h=\sqrt{ b^2+p^2}\\$

$\rm\longrightarrow h =\sqrt{ (20.406)^2+(9.802)^2}\\$

$\rm\longrightarrow h =\sqrt{416.40+96.07}\\$

$\rm\longrightarrow h = 22.63\ in$

Now we may find perimeter as ,

$\rm\longrightarrow P = p + b + h \\$

$\rm\longrightarrow P = (22.63 + 9.802 + 20.406)in.$

$\\\rm\longrightarrow P = 52.89 \ in.\\$

$\rm\longrightarrow \underline{\underline{ Perimeter = 52.9\ in .}}$

Identify the terms and like terms in the expression 14 – 8x– 6 - 10x.

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Like terms are similar and terms are different.

Like terms :-

-10
14
-6

They are similar.

Terms :-

-8x²
-10x

One has an exponent and other does not which means they are not like terms and are only terms.

Hope this helps, thank you :) !!

The altitude of a triangle is 2 m longer than its base. What are the dimensions of the altitude and the base if thearea of the t

HACTEHA [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let base of triangle be x m.

Therefore, altitude =( x + 2)m

$area \: of \: \triangle = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times altitude \\ \\ 40 = \frac{1}{2} \times x \times (x + 2) \\ \\ 80 = {x }^{2} +2x \\ \\ {x}^{2} + 2x - 80 = 0 \\ {x}^{2} + 10x - 8x - 80 \\ x(x + 10) - 8(x + 10) = 0\\ (x + 10)(x - 8) = 0 \\ x + 10 = 0 \: \: or \: \: x - 8 = 0 \\ x = - 10 \: \: or \: \: x = 8 \\ base \: can \: not \: be \: - ve \\ x \neq - 10 \\ x = 8 \\ x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10 \\$

Therefore

Altitude = 10 m

Base = 8 m
