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 :)

What is th result of converting 20 ounces into pounds?
Harrizon [31]
Hello!

The Correct Answer would be:

"1.25 Pounds"

Why? Well:

1 ounce (oz) is equal to 0.0625 pounds (lb).

1 oz = (1/16) lb = 0.0625 lb

The mass m in pounds (lb) is equal to the mass m in ounces (oz) divided by 16:

m(lb) = m(oz) / 16


So as Result, The Answer is 1.25 Pounds.


Hope this Helps! Have A Wonderful Day! :)

If you go out to eat with 3 friends and your meal was $72.50, what should you leave for gratuninty if you want to tip your waite
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

$10.88 or round up to $11

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 15 is expressed as a percent, you can convert it to a decimal.

.15, which can also be 15/100 if you were to write it as a fraction.

You are trying to find 15% of 72.50 so you would need to multiply your new decimal (.15) to your meal total. This will give you 10.875 or 10.88.
