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 country is shaped like a trapezoid. It's northern border is about 9.6 miles across,and the southern border is approximately 25
Nostrana [21]
The area of the trapezoid is calculated through the equation,
                       A = 0.5(b₁ + b₂)h
where b₁ and b₂ are the bases and h is the height. Substituting the known values from the given,
                       A = 0.5(9.6 + 25)(90) = 1557 mi²
Therefore, the approximate area of the country is 1557 mi².

Jen measured the growth of a sunflower in one week it grew 2 and 1 half in
Pie
So you basically add the amount it grew each week. So week one is 2 and 1/2, week two is 2 and 3/4 and week three is 3 and 1/4. to make things simpler, add week two and three which gets you 6inches, then add week one, to get 8 and a half inches.

Subtract (x^2+3x-4) -(4x-2x^2-3)
Feliz [49]

Answer:

3 x^2 - x + -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-(4 x - 2 x^2 - 3) + x^2 + 3 x - 4

Factor -1 out of -2 x^2 + 4 x - 3:

--(2 x^2 - 4 x + 3) + x^2 + 3 x - 4

(-1)^2 = 1:

2 x^2 - 4 x + 3 + x^2 + 3 x - 4

Grouping like terms, 2 x^2 + x^2 + 3 x - 4 x - 4 + 3 = (x^2 + 2 x^2) + (3 x - 4 x) + (-4 + 3):

(x^2 + 2 x^2) + (3 x - 4 x) + (-4 + 3)

x^2 + 2 x^2 = 3 x^2:

3 x^2 + (3 x - 4 x) + (-4 + 3)

3 x - 4 x = -x:

3 x^2 + -x + (-4 + 3)

3 - 4 = -1:

Answer: 3 x^2 - x + -1
