B = 3h . . . . . . . .given by the problem statement
A = (1/2)bh . . . . formula for the area of a triangle

486 cm² = (1/2)*(3h)*h . . . substitute given information
(2/3)*486 cm² = h² . . . . . .multiply by 2/3
√324 cm = h . . . . . . . . . . . . . .take the square root

The height is 18 cm.
The base is 3*18 = 54 cm.

Scores are 78,81,83, and 76 what must she earn on the fifth test to earn an average test score of 81

iogann1982 [59]

The average value of a data set is equal to the sum of each entry divided by the number of entries. In this case, we have 5 scores, so we can find set up the following equation where x is the fifth score:

$\dfrac{78+81+83+76+x}{5} = 81$

Now solve for x:

$78 + 81 + 83 + 76 + x = 81(5)$

$318 + x = 405$

$x = 87$

The fifth score must be 87.

Write your own two equations that would have a solution of (3, 6).

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

y = 2x

y = 3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

y = 2x

6 = 2(3)

6 = 6

That's a solution

y = 3x - 3

6 = 3(3) - 3

6 = 9 - 3

6 = 6

That's a solution

Hope this helps :)
