In order to begin we must start off with the formula for the area of a triangle, which is a=1/2b(h) where a is area, b is base, and h is height.

In this scenario, we know that the area is 45cm^2 and the base is 2h+12 (since it is twice it’s height plus twelve). We can plug this into the area equation and then proceed to solve out accordingly.
a=1/2b(h)
45=1/2(2h+12)(h)
90=(2h+12)(h)
90=2h^2 + 12h
0= 2h^2 + 12h - 90

Simplify by dividing the two out.

h^2 + 6h - 45 = 0.

Now plug into the quadratic formula (with a=1, b=6, and c=-45) as shown in the image below.

After plugging the equation in and solving, we come to the idea that h is roughly equal to 4.34. We can now plug this back into the triangle area formula to solve out for b.
a=1/2b(h)
45=1/2(2h + 12)(h)
45=1/2(20.69)(4.34)
45=45.

In conclusion;
The height is ≈ 4.34
The base is ≈ 8.68

Hope this helps :)

6. Solve this inequality: j/4 -8 < 4.
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{j}{4} - 8 < 4 ( add 8 to both sides )

\frac{j}{4} < 12

Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the fraction

j < 48 → D
