The height of a triangle is 7 cm longer than its base.

1 answer:

6 0

A) Height -7 = base
B) .5 * height * base = 60
Substituting A into B
B) .5 * height * (height -7) = 60
B) .5*height^2 -3.5*height = 60
B) .5*height^2 -3.5*height -60 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:
Height = 15
Subtracting 7 gives us the base length
Base = 8
**************************************************************
Double-Check
.5 * 15 * 8 = 60

1) A cyclist travels a distance of 90 miles in 5 hours. What

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: <u>Speed</u> is distance an object travelled per unit time.

It is represented by letter v and can assume various units.

1) $v=\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{d}{t}$

$v=\frac{90}{5}$

v = 18 miles per hour

Her average speed is 18 mph.

2) Rearraging formula for distance:

d = v.t

d = 70 * 4

d = 280 miles

You would travel 280 miles.

3) $v=\frac{d}{t}$

$v=\frac{315}{6}$

v = 52.5 mph

My average speed is 52.5 mph.

4) Rearranging formula to determine time:

$t=\frac{d}{v}$

$t=\frac{210}{90}$

t = 2.34 hours

It will take 2 hours and half to arrive in Leeds. So, we will be expected to arrive at 12:04.

5) The unit change but the way of calculating time is the same.

$t=\frac{2000}{4}$

t = 500 s

or t = 8.34 minutes

It will take, for an athlete to run 2000m, 8.34 minutes.

6) a) All units must match, so for a speed in mph:

45 minutes is 0.75 hours. Total time is 8.75 hours.

$v=\frac{420}{8.75}$

v = 560 mph

The average speed is 560 mph.

b) $t=\frac{d}{v}$

$t=\frac{420}{63}$

t = 6.67 hours

Sam will take 6.67 hours to covered the distance.

if the perimeter of a rectangular picture frame must be less than 180 in., and the width is 26 in., what must the hight (h) of t

juin [17]

First since the perimeter of this problem is P=2b x 2h I first multiplied 26 by 2 and got 52 inches. then I subtracted 52 from 180 and got 128. From there I divide 128 by 2 and I got 64 for the length

Pythagorean theorem a=7 and c=14. Can you explain how to find b?

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

c squared - a squared = b squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a squared + b squared = c squared

With these values it would equal 14 squared - 7 squared = c squared

Then after you find c squared, find the square root of it and there you have go your answer!
