A=bh/2, h=b-5 so

A=(b/2)(b-5)

A=(b^2-5b)/2  and A=42 so:

(b^2-5b)/2=42

b^2-5b=84

b^2-5b-84=0

b^2-12b+7b-84=0

b(b-12)+7(b-12)=0

(b+7)(b-12)=0 and since b>0

b=12m

What is 12.1 as a fraction in simplest form
Alex787 [66]
12 1/10
A quick way to get this one is to recognize that .1 is a decimal in the tenth place. Because of this, we know to put it over 10. Because 1/10 cannot be simplified, it is in simplest form. Now, simply return the whole number to the fraction.

What is the length of the tangent line in the picture?
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent line has length "x + 8"

The secant line has length "x + 6 + 5", where

5 is the inner part

x + 6 is the outer part

Now,

the secant-tangent theorem tells us that square of the tangent line is equal to the outer segment of secant line multiplied by length of whole secant line.

So, we can say:

(x+8)^2 = (x+6)(x+6+5)

We can solve for x shown below:

(x+8)^2 = (x+6)(x+6+5)\\(x+8)^2=(x+6)(x+11)\\x^2+16x+64=x^2+17x+66\\17x-16x=64-66\\x=-2

The value of x is -2

find a parametric representation of the solution set of the linear equation. (enter your answer as a comma-separated list of equ
Ostrovityanka [42]

To represent the solution set of a linear equation parametrically, we introduce other parameters like s and t for the free variables.

Every linear equation has n - 1 free variables where n is the number of variables.

For x + y + z = 2, we have 3 variables and 3 - 1 = 2 free variables.

First, let y and z be the free variables, we first solve the linear equation for x to get:

x = 2 - y - z

Therefore , the parametric representation of the solution set is given by :

x = 2 - s -t

y = s

z = t
