You would do 
42=1/2*b*h
you would plug in what you know which is h=5
then you is multiply .5 by 5
which would be 2.5 then you would divide it on both sides of the equal side 
42=2.5*b
which then b would stand alone and 42/2.5 is 16.8 which would equal b so your base is 16.8m^2

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the length of the base

The height of a triangle is 5 m less than its base.

i.e. height= b-5

The area of the triangle is 42 m².

We know that the area of triangle is given by:

\dfrac{1}{2}\times Base\times Height

Here, \dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times (b-5)=42

Multiplying by 2 on both sides, we get

b(b-5)=84

b²-5b-84=0

b²-12b+7b-84=0

b(b-12)+7(b-12)=0

(b+7)(b-12)=0

either b+7=0 or b-12=0

either b= -7 or b=12

b can't be negative so, b=12

Hence, Length of base is:

12 m

Answer:

  d)  192

Step-by-step explanation:

Your calculator can do this for you.

Or, you can simplify to

  12\cdot\dfrac{4^{-2}}{4^{-4}}=12(4^{-2+4})=12(4^2)=192

For one batch of cookies, the ratio of ounces of butter to ounces of flour is 2 to 3
dezoksy [38]

Answer: For 3 Batches, 6 butter & 9 flour

For 5 Batches, 10 butter & 15 flour

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Batch = 2:3

So, whatever we times up by in batches we can do the same to the ingredients.

1 batch = 2:3

multiply 3

3 batches = 6:9

and so on…

Find the volume length 10 2/5 cm, width 3 cm, height 8 1/3 cm
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

260 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

formula for finding volume:

<u>l x w x h = v</u>

l=length   w=width    h=height    v=volume

10\frac{2}{5} × 3 × 8\frac{1}{3}

10\frac{2}{5} = \frac{52}{5}

how did i do that?

cross multiply the whole number and the denominator together and add the product by the numerator.

8\frac{1}{3} = \frac{25}{3}

so, \frac{52}{5} × \frac{25}{3} × \frac{3}{1}

cross simplify(dont have to do it just makes everything easier)

and you get:

\frac{52}{1} × \frac{5}{1} × \frac{1}{1}

and you get \frac{260}{1}

\frac{260}{1} = 260 cm

The congruence theorem that can be used to prove △LON ≅ △LMN is SSS. ASA. SAS. HL.
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The correct option is SSS (Side-Side-Side) Theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete because the diagrams of ΔLON and ΔLMN are not given. I have attached the diagram of both triangles below for better understanding of the question.

Consider the diagram attached below. We have to find the congruence theorem which can be used to prove that ΔLON ≅ ΔLMN

We can see in the diagram that both triangle have a common side that is LN. It means 1 side of both triangles is congruent because LN≅LN

Consider the sides ON and MN. Both side have a single bar on them, which means that it is given that both of these side are congruent. Hence ON≅MN

Consider the sides LO and LM. Both side have a double bars on them, which means that it is given that both of these side are also congruent. Hence LO≅LM

SSS theorem states that if all sides of the triangles are congruent, then the triangles themselves are also congruent, which is the same case in this question
