Let h represent the height of the triangle.

... b = 10 + 3h . . . . . . the base is 10 inches more than 3 times the height

... A = (1/2)bh . . . . . . formula for the area of a triangle in terms of base and height

... 16 = (1/2)(10 +3h)h . . . . substitute the known values

... 3h² + 10h - 32 = 0 . . . . rearrange to standard form

... (h -2)(3h +16) = 0

... h = 2 or -16/3 . . . . . . . . the negative solution is extraneous

... b = 10 + 3·2 = 16 . . . . . use the relation between b and h

The base and height of the triangle are 2 inches and 16 inches, respectively.

disa [49]

Answer:

the  revenue recognized is $1,275

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the revenue recognized is shown below:

= Number of boxes of strawberries sold to customers × price per box

= 85 boxes × $15

= $1,275

Hence, the  revenue recognized is $1,275

We simply applied the above formula and the same should be considered

Also

= 130 - 85

= 45 boxes would not be recognized as sale is not made

Find the equation of the line using exact numbers
Katen [24]

Answer:

y = - \frac{1}{3} x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2-y_{1} } }{x_{2-x_{1} } }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 4) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{4-5}{3-0} = \frac{-1}{3} = - \frac{1}{3}

the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 5 ) ⇒ c = 5

y = - \frac{1}{3} x + 5 ← equation of line
