What is the length of the base of a right triangle with an area of 24m and a height of 4m

Mathematics

Answer:

The base is 12 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by

A = 1/2 bh where the b is the length of the base and h is the height

We know the area is 24 and the height is 4

24 = 1/2 * b* 4

24 = 2b

Divide each side by 2

24/2 = 2b/2

12 =b

The base is 12 m

To find the length of the base, we have to understand that area of triangle:

Base x height/2

Therefore we would multiply the area by 2 and divide by 4 to find the answer:

24x2/4

=48/4

=12

Therefore the answer is 12m.

Hope it helps!

Which is an asymptote of the graph of the function y = cot ( x - 2pi / 3 )
vesna_86 [32]
\bf y=cot\left(x-\frac{2\pi }{3}  \right)\implies y=\cfrac{cos\left(x-\frac{2\pi }{3}  \right)}{sin\left(x-\frac{2\pi }{3}  \right)}

now, if the denominator turns to 0, the fraction becomes undefined, and you get a "vertical asymptote" when that happens, so let's check when is that

\bf sin\left(x-\frac{2\pi }{3}  \right)=0\implies sin^{-1}\left[ sin\left(x-\frac{2\pi }{3}  \right) \right]=sin^{-1}(0)
\\\\\\
x-\frac{2\pi }{3}=
\begin{cases}
0\\
\pi 
\end{cases}\implies \measuredangle x=
\begin{cases}
\frac{2\pi }{3}\\
\frac{5\pi }{3}
\end{cases}

now, at those angles, the function is asymptotic, check the picture below

A positive real number is 6 less than another. If the sum of the square of the two numbers is 38, then finds the numbers.
Serggg [28]

Answer:

There seems to be a typo error but still this has solution.

Let the number be = x

A positive real number is 6 less than another. Means the second will be (x+6)

The sum of the square of the two numbers is 38.

x^{2} +(x+6)^{2} =38  

=> x^{2} +36+12x+x^{2} =38

=> 2x^{2}+12x+36 =38

=> 2x^{2}+12x=2

=> 2x^{2}+12x-2=0

Taking out 2 common;

=> x^{2}+6x-1=0

Solving this quadratic equation, we get;

x=-3+\sqrt{10} and x=-3-\sqrt{10}

As positive number is needed, we have -3+\sqrt{10}

or x = \sqrt{10}-3

x = 0.162277

And other number is 6.162277.

You are paid 1.5 times your normal hourly rate for each hour you work over 30 hours in a week. You work 33 hours this week and e
erma4kov [3.2K]

The normal hourly rate is <u>$17.24</u>.

In the question, we are given that we are paid 1.5 times our normal hourly rate for each hour we work over 30 hours in a week.

We are asked to find the normal hourly rate if we work for 33 hours this week and earned $594.78.

We assume the normal hourly rate to be $x.

While working for 33 hours, we work 33 - 30 = 3 extra hours.

Thus, we are paid at the normal hourly rate of $x for 30 hours and at 1.5 times the normal hourly rate, which is $1.5x for the additional 3 hours.

Thus, the total earning can be shown as $x*30 + $1.5x*3 = $(30x + 4.5x) = $34.5x.

But, we are given that the total earnings for the week after working for 33 hours is $594.78.

Thus, we can equate the two to get an equation, 34.5x = 594.78, which on solving gives us x = 17.24.

Thus, the normal hourly rate is <u>$17.24</u>.

The sum of two numbers is 18 less than twice the first number. their difference is 32 less than twice the second number. find ea
stira [4]
Let the two numbers be x and y
(x+y)-18=2x
x+y-18=2x
x+y-2x=18
-x+y=18_______(1)

(x-y) -32=2y
x-y-32=2y
x-y-2y=32
x-3y=32_______(2)

from eqn (1) y=18+x____(3)
substitute eqn (3) into eqn(2)
x-3{18+x} = 32
x-54-3x=32
-2x=32+54
-2x = 86
x= -43

sub x=-43 into eqn (3)
y=18+(-43) = 18-43 = -25
