A=1/2bh
b=8+h
A=384

384=1/2(bh)
times 2
768=bh
sub
768=b(8+b)
768=8b+b^2
minus 768 both sides
0=b^2+8b-768
factor
0=(b-24)(b+32)
set to zero
b-24=0
b=24

b+32=0
minus 32
b=-32
false, legnths cannot be negative

b=24
24=8+h
minus 8
16=h

base=24ft
altetude=16ft

Find the distance between (1, 4) and (-2, 0)
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

\boxed {d = 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the <u>Distance Formula</u> to help you determine the distance between two given points:

d = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1})^{2}}

First point: (x_{1}, y_{1})

Second Point: (x_{2}, y_{2})

-Apply the two given points onto the formula:

First point: (1, 4)

Second point: (-2, 0)

d = \sqrt{(-2 - 1)^{2} + (0 - 4)^{2}}

-Solve for the distance:

d = \sqrt{(-2 - 1)^{2} + (0 - 4)^{2}}

d = \sqrt{(-3)^{2} + (-4)^{2}}

d = \sqrt{9 + 16}

d = \sqrt{25}

\boxed {d = 5}

Therefore, the distance is 5.

In the morning, Jasmine biked to her grandma's house in 45 minutes. When she was biking back home in the evening it was foggy an
Mars2501 [29]
Let x = speed and y = distance

y = x * 45

y = (x - 4) * 70

45x = 70x - 280

-25x = -280

x = 11.2

Put it back into the first equation:

y = 11.2 x 45

y = 504miles

Hope this helps! Any questions let me know :)

siniylev [52]

Answer:

1 over 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of Carl rolling a 2 is one out of six. The probability of him rolling a 4 is one out of six. but they need to happen one right after the other, so you add them.

A person in a balloon which is 2,000 feet above the airport finds that the angle of depression to a ship out at sea is 21°. Find
maria [59]
The horizontal distance is given by the formula:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
where:
θ=21
opposite=2000 ft
adjacent=a
thus calculating for a we get:
tan 21=2000/a
thus
a=2000/tan 21
a=5210.18 ft

Answer: 5210.18 ft
