let base be x

height = 3x

area = 1/2 * base* height

area = 1/2 * x*3x

Area = 3x^2/2= 27

3x^2= 54


x^2= 54/3

x^2= 18

x= sqrt 18

x= sqrt (3*3*2)

x= 3sqrt2 the base

height = 3 * 3sqrt2

height = 9 sqrt2

Hope this helps!

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (−2, −3) with a slope of −6.
Daniel [21]
Y=mx+b where m=-6, x=-2, and y=-3. Substituting these values in would result in -3=(-6)(-2)+b, which would simplify to -3=12+b, and further to b=-15. This would mean the y intercept is equal to -15, or (0,-15). To check, (-6)*(-2)-15 is in fact equal to -3, thus allowing easy identification of a graph, which will cross the y axis at -15 and decrease in y-value by 6 with every increase in x-value.

A company needs $5,400,000 in 14 years in order to expand their factory. How much should the company invest each week if the inv
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: the company should invest $12191 each week

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount that the company needs is $5,400,000

We would apply the periodic interest rate formula which is expressed as

P = a/[{(1+r)^n]-1}/{r(1+r)^n}]

Where

P represents the weekly payments.

a represents the amount that the company needs

r represents the rate.

n represents number of weekly payments. Therefore

a = 5,400000

There are 52 weeks in a year

r = 0.079/52 = 0.0015

n = 52 × 14 = 728

Therefore,

P = 5400000/[{(1+0.0015)^728]-1}/{0.0015(1+0.0015)^728}]

5400000/[{(1.0015)^728]-1}/{0.0015(1.0015)^728}]

P = 5400000/{2.98 -1}/[0.0015(2.98)]

P = 5400000/(1.98/0.00447)

P = 5400000/442.95

P = $12191

⦟KLJ and ⦟JLM are a linear pair. Find the measures of ⦟KLJ and ⦟JLM.
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 12 + 4x + 8 =  180 {Linear pair}

6x + 4x + 12 + 8 = 180 {Combine like terms}

         10x + 20  = 180   {Subtract 20 from both sides}

              10x =  180 - 20

             10x  = 160    {Divide both sides by 10}

               x = 160/10

                x = 16

m∠KLJ = 6*16 + 12

            = 96 +12

            = 108

m∠JLM = 4*16 + 8

            = 64 + 8

            = 72

4. In one semester, Doug and Laura spent a combined 230 hours in the tutoring lab. If Doug
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

80 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

let d represent doug, let l represent laura

first, set up a system of equations representing the problem:

since doug spent 10 less than twice the hours laura did, and we know that the total amount of hours they spent together is 230:

l=2d+10

d+l=230

then solve:

*first i rearranged the equations so i can solve this system of equations using elimination method*

l-2d=10

l+d=230

*subtract*

3d=240

d=80

so, doug spent 80 hours in the lab
