The formula for the area of a triangle is (1/2)bh = A
when we plug in the numbers, we get (1/2)(3x-1)x = A
using the distributive property we get (1.5x - .5)x = A
Then its 1.5x^2 - .5x = A
then if we factor out 0.5x we get 0.5x(3x-1) = A
then with the zero product property, 0.5x can equal 0 and x would need to equal 0.
if 3x-1 = 0 , then 3x = 1 then x = 1/3. so our answer would be 1/3 I'm pretty sure because a length cannot be 0
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Part A: 13.2
Part B: see below
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A</u>:
13.245 rounded to tenths is 13.2
<u>Part B</u>:
The rule is ...
<em>Add 1 in the number place you're rounding to if the digit to its right is 5 or more. Drop (or zero) all digits to the right of the place you're rounding to.</em>
Here, the digit to the right of the tenths place is 4, so no action is taken other than dropping digits to the right of the tenths place.
Answer:
12:18 and 20:30
Step-by-step explanation:
First notice that the triangle with sides
and the triangle with sides
are similar. This is true because the angle between sides
in the smaller triangle is clearly
, while the angle between sides
in the larger triangle is clearly
. So the triangles are similar with sides
corresponding to
, respectively.
Now both triangles are
, which means there's a convenient ratio between its sides. If the length of the shortest leg is
, then the length of the longer leg is
and the hypotenuse has length
.
Since
is the shortest leg in the larger triangle, it follows that
, so
