Let x=height. then base is x+4. plug what we know into the formula for the area of a triangle

A=½bh

16=½*(x+4)*(x)

32=x²+4x

x²+4x-32=0
(x+8)(x-4)=0
so x can be-8 our 4. when we plug-8 in for x we get a negative height. since a triangle cannot have a negative side length we discard-8 and try 4. height=4 and base=8

A company that manufactuers small canoes has a fixed cost of $14,000. It cost $40 to produce each canoe. The selling price is $8
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The company manufactures about 350 canoes, obtaining $ 28,000 after selling them all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a company that manufactures small canoes has a fixed cost of $ 14,000, and it cost $ 40 to produce each canoe while the selling price is $ 80 per canoe, to determine the number of canoes that the company produces and the amount of money it makes after selling them, the following calculation must be carried out:

14/000 / 40 = X

350 = X

350 x 80 = 28,000

Thus, the company manufactures about 350 canoes, obtaining $ 28,000 after selling them all.
