Answer:

18 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call it's initial elevation x. Because it descends 3 miles, we now have x - 3. The question says it is now 15 miles above sea level, or x - 3 = 15, and adding 3 to both sides shows that x = 18 miles.

The height of a triangle is 7 m less than its base. The area of the triangle is 30 m².
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Base 12m Height 5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle formula A=1/2bh

30=1/2(x)(x-7)

2*30 = 1/2(x)(x-7)*2

60 = x^2 -7x

60 - x^2 + 7x = 0

-60 + x^2 -7x = 0

x^2 -7x -60 =0

x^2 + 5x -12x -60 = 0

x(x+5)-12x-60=0

x(x+5)-12(x+5)=0

(x+5)*(x-12)=0

x+5=0

x-12=0

x=-5

x-12=0

x=12

The final answer is: x= 12,5

get rid of the -5 because -5 does not make sense at a height so turn it into 5

Base: 12m

Height 5m
