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.

Find the equation of the line. <br> Use exact numbers.

AlekseyPX

The slope of the line (m) = 3/1 = 3
and the y intercept is at (0,3) that is y = 3 so b = 3

using the slope intercept form y = mx + b

m = 3 and b = 3

so answer is y = 3x + 3

There is two event that needs to be made: 1. blue eyes, and 2. brown eyes. A spinner is made with a circle. A full circle has 360 degrees and it would be divided based on the probability of the event.
Blue eyes have 25% chance, so the angle of the spinner would be 25%*360°= 90°
Brown eyes have 75% chance, so the angle of the spinner would be 25%*360°= 270°

So, the 90° of the circle would be written as 1(blue eyes) and 270° of the circle will be written as 2(brown eyes).
