The Shark's teeth has a base of 2 cm and height of 1 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given,

the area of the shark's triangular teeth = 1 sq cm

Let b be the base and h be the height of the shark's triangular teeth.

We have the teeth's height is 1 cm short than the base

So  h = b - 1

Step 2 :

Area of Triangle  = (\frac{1}{2}) × b × h = 1

Substituting h = b -1

(\frac{1}{2}) × b × (b-1) = 1

=> b² - b = 2 = > b²-b-2 = 1

Solving for b we have

(b-2)(b+1) = 0

b = 2 or b = -1

Since b is the base , we take the positive value as length/distance cannot be negative.

So b = 2

h = b - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1

h = 1

Step 3 :

Answer :

The Shark's teeth has a base of 2 cm and height of 1 cm.

Which scenario best matches the linear relationship expressed in the equation y=-14+1700
Elden [556K]

Question:

Which scenario best matches the linear relationship expressed in the equation y = –14x + 1,700?

1) Kent has $1,700 in his bank account and spends $14 each week.

2) Kent has $1,700 in his bank account and deposits $14 each week.

3) Kent had $1,700 in his bank account and deposited another $14.

4) Kent has $14 in his bank account and spent $1,700.

Answer:

Option  1) Kent has $1,700 in his bank account and spends $14 each week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the number of weeks.

Option 1: Kent has $1,700 in his bank account and -14x as the negative sign denotes how much amount he spend each week.

Thus, Option 1 is the correct answer.

Option 2: Kent has $1,700 in his bank account and deposits $14 each week.

Writing it as equation, we have, y=14x+1700 which is not the expressed linear equation.

Hence,  Option 2 is not the correct answer.

Option 3: Kent had $1,700 in his bank account and deposited another $14.

Writing it as equation, we have, y=14+1700 which is not the expressed linear equation.

Hence,  Option 3 is not the correct answer.

Option 4: Kent has $14 in his bank account and spent $1,700.

Writing it as equation, we have, y=14-1700 which is not the expressed linear equation.

Hence,  Option 4 is not the correct answer.

Thus, the scenario that matches the linear equation relationship expressed in the equation is Option 1.

The answer is Kent has $1,700 in his bank account and spends $14 each week.
