Step-by-step explanation:
The average car manufactured in the United states in 2001 could drive 24.5 miles on 1 car gallon of gas. To find the number of yards the car can travel on gallon of gas, we would convert 24.5 miles.
1 mile = 1760 yards
24.5 miles = 24.5 × 1760
= 43120 yards
Therefore, the car drives 43120 yards on 1 gallon of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
the area of a triangle
baseline × height / 2
in our case
baseline × height / 2 = 60 in²
height = 6×baseline - 16
baseline × (6×baseline - 16) / 2 = 60
baseline × (3×baseline - 8) = 60
3×baseline² - 8×baseline = 60
baseline = x
3x² - 8x - 60 = 0
general solution to a quadratic equation is
x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)
in our case
a = 3
b = -8
c = -60
x = (8 ± sqrt(64 - 4×3×-60))/(2×3) =
= (8 ± sqrt(64 + 720))/6 = (8 ± sqrt(784))/6 =
= (8 ± 28)/6
x1 = (8 + 28)/6 = 36/6 = 6
x2 = (8 - 28)/6 = -20/6 = -10/3
x2 as a negative number is not a valid solution for a length in a geometric shape.
so, x = 6 in is our solution for the baseline.
height = 6x - 16 = 6×6 - 16 = 36 - 16 = 20 in
base = 6 in
