Answer with explanation:

It is given that area of right triangle is 24 square feet

Since Sides of any triangle is always Positive.So, we have to find those equation among six options , which gives two positive Integral values,as area of right triangle is equal to product of base length and Corresponding Altitude.

Starting from option 1

⇒1. x² +2 x - 24 =0

 Splitting the middle term

→x²+6 x - 4 x -24=0

→x×(x+6)-4×(x+6)=0  

→(x-4)(x+6)

By substituting the expression equal to , 0, we will get one positive zero and one negative Zero so , it can't be the equation which can be sides of right triangle

Option B:

→x×(x+2)=0

Gives, two zeroes which are equal to 0 and , -2 So, it is also not that expression which gives sides of right triangle, when area =24 square feet

Option C:

x²+ (x+2)×2=100

x²+2 x +4-100=0

x²+2 x-96=0

x=\frac{-2 +\sqrt{2^2\pm 4 \times 96}}{2}\\\\x=\frac{-2 \pm\sqrt{4+384}}{2}

It will give one Positive zero and one negative zero ,so it can't be the equation which gives length of legs of right triangle.

Option D:

0.5 × x×(x+2)=24,

as 0.5 is equal to \frac{1}{2}

x²+2 x -48=0

(x-6)(x+8)=0

The two zeroes are , such that one of them is positive and other is negative.So this is not the equation which can be used to find the lengths of the legs of the right triangle.

⇒Option E.

x²+2 x - 48=0

Same as option D

It cant be the expression which can be used to find the lengths of the legs of the triangle.

⇒Option F:

x²+(x+2)×2=24

x²+2 x +4-24=0

x²+ 2 x -20=0

x=\frac{-2\pm \sqrt{2^2-4 \times (-20)\times 1}}{2}

It will give one positive zero and one negative zero , so it can't be the equation which can be used to find the lengths of the legs of the triangle.

→→None, of the option can be used to find the length of sides of right  triangle when area is equal to 24 square feet because none of them gives two positive Integral value.

Not sure, but the areas of a triangle is BH/2 so the dimensions should be 8 and 6 then 10.
8 x 6 = 48
48/2 = 24
Maybe that can help with the equation

Answer:

2)

(2x -5) + (x) + (2x - 3) = 32.

5x-8 = 32.

ii) 5x-8=32

5x= 32+8

5x = 40

x= 40/5

x = 8

iii) 2x -5

2 × 8 -5 = 11.

2x-3

2×8-3

16-3 = 13

x =8

sides of the triangle= 8, 11, 13.

Your teacher is choosing 2 students to run an errand for her. There are 12 girls and 10 boys in the class. What is the probabili
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 22 (12 + 10) total students in the class. That means that the chance of the first student picked being a girl is 12/22.

Now, we must calculate the chance of the next student to be picked <em>also </em>being a girl - however, there is a trap here! Remember that since a girl has been picked, the total student pool has decreased to 21 and and the total number of girls has decreased to 11. This means the new chance of girl being picked is 11/21.

To find the probability of both these events happening in conjunction, these fractions must be multiplied. 12/22 * 11/21 = 132/462, which simplifies to 2/7.

An object is thrown upward from the top of a 192 ft building with an initial velocity of 64 feet
Airida [17]

Answer:

t=6

Step-by-step explanation:

ground height = 0

(are you sure your formula is correct? isn't it - 16t²?)

if h=16t² +64t+192 is true then

16t² +64t+192 = 0

t² + 4t + 12 = 0

t = (-4 ± √(4² - 4*12)) / 2*1 = (-4 ± √-32) / 2 = -2 ± 2√-2

There is no solution of t

if it is h= - 16t² +64t+192

0 =- 16t² + 64t + 192

t² - 4t - 12 = 0

(t + 2) (t -6) = 0

t should be positive

t = 6 sec

The equation (2x^2 - 1)(3x+2) = (2x²)(3x) + (2x²)(2) + (-1)(3x)+(-1)(2) is an example
Nookie1986 [14]

The method used is Distributive Property.

<h3>What is Distributive property?</h3>

The Distributive Property is an algebraic property that is used to multiply a single value and two or more values within a set of parenthesis.

Given:

(2x² - 1)(3x+2) = (2x²)(3x) + (2x²)(2) + (-1)(3x)+(-1)(2)

Here the property used is Distributive property.

Because distributive property in this way

a*(b+c)= a*b+ a*c

This is how a is being multiplied by with b and c.
