The sides of the triangle are 3x, 4x and 5x
3x + 4x + 5x = 90
12x = 90
x = 90/12
x = 7.5
first side = 3x = 3 * 7.5 = 22.5 cm
second side = 4x = 4 * 7.5 = 30 cm
third side = 5x = 5*7.5 = 37.5 cm
Answer:
<em>The base is 24 cm long.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equations</u>
Let's call
b= base of the triangle
h=height of the triangle
The base is 9 cm longer than the height, thus:
b = h + 9
The area of the triangle is:
And its value is 180:
Multiplying by 2:
Operating:
Factoring:
The only valid positive solution is:
h = 15 cm
And b = h + 9 = 24
b = 24 cm
The base is 24 cm long.
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rectangle is length x width.
Let the width = x
The length would be x +7. ( 7 inches longer than the width)
Area = 20
Set up the formula:
20 = x * x+7
Simplify the right side:
20 = x^2 + 7x
Subtract 29 from both sides:
X^2 + 7x -20 = 0
Solve using the quadratic equation
X = -b + sqrt(b^2 -4ac) / 2a
X = -7 + sqrt(7^2-4(1)(-20) / 2(1) (exact answer)
X = 2.178908 ( as a decimal)
The width is 2.178907 inches (round as needed)
The length would be 9.178907 inches ( round as needed.)
Depending on how you round, when you multiply them together you get approximately 20 square inches.
Answer:
y=6x+20
Step-by-step explanation:
m= y2-y1/x2-x1
m= -4-8/-4-(-2)= 12/-2= 6/1
y= mx+b
y= 6x+b
8= 6(-2)+b
8=-12+b
+12 +12
b= 20
