Answer:

$\frac{984}{17}$ or around 57.88

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the base length by using the formula for the area of a triangle.

$A=\frac{bh}{2}$

Plug in the values that we know, the area and the height, and solve for $b$ .

$493=\frac{17b}{2}$

$984=17b$

$b=\frac{984}{17}So the base is [tex]\frac{984}{17}$ or about 57.88 if you round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

58 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for the length of the base of a triangle, given the height and area. The formula for the area of a triangle

A=1/2 bh

relates A= the area, b= length of the base, and h= the height of a triangle, so this is the formula we should use.

We are given that the area of the triangle is A=493 and the height h=17. Substitute this information into the formula and solve for b to find

A=493

493=1/2⋅b⋅17

493=17/2b

58=b

The length of the base is 58 meters.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

743.25m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle = 1/2bh

= 1/2 x 30 x 26

= 390

Area of semi circle = 1/2 πr^2

= 1/ 2 x 3.14 x 15 x15

=353.25m^2

= 390 + 353.25

= 743.25m^2

The sum of two numbers is 80 If four times the smaller number is subtracted from the larger number, the result is 10. Find the t

timama [110]

This can be solved using a system of equations.
$\left \{ {{x+y=80} \atop {x-4y=10} \right. 
$
Subtract y from both sides.
$x=80-y$
Substitute:
$80-y-4y=80-5y=10$
Subtract 80 from both sides:
$5y=70$
Divide both sides by 5:
$y= \frac{70}{5} =14$
Substitute.
$x=80-14=66$

Please help with question 20! Thanks<3

Answer:

Population of Town A = 19,575

Population of Town B = 52,200

Population of Town C = 20,880

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of..

A : B = 3 : 8

B : C = 5 : 2

Both A : B and B : C have B in their ratios. What we can do is make B the same in both ratios and then create a ratio between all three towns.

A : B = (3 : 8) x 5 = 15 : 40

B : C = (5 : 2) x 8 = 40 : 16

A : B : C

15 : 40 : 16

Now, to find the population of each town we can write the following equation using the numbers from our ratio between all three towns and set it to the given population.

15x + 40x + 16x = 92,655

Solve for x.

71x = 92,655

x = 1,305

Finally, we can use the value of x to find the population of each town.

Population of Town A = 15x

Population of Town A = 15(1,305)

Population of Town A = 19,575

Population of Town B = 40x

Population of Town B = 40(1,305)

Population of Town B = 52,200

Population of Town C = 16x

Population of Town C = 16(1,305)

Population of Town C = 20,880

~Hope this helps!~
