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 :)

The sum of the number is 103.the second number is 4 times the third.the third number is 5 more then the first .what are the numb
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

13, 18, 72

Step-by-step explanation:

let x-5 represent the first number, since the first number is 5 less than the third number. let x represent the third number. let 4x represent the third number, since it's four times greater than the third number.

set up an equation, and make it equal to 103:

x-5+x+4x=103

solve:

6x-5=103

6x=108

x=18

so, the third number is 18.

the first number is equal to x-5, so:

18-5=13

the second number is equal to 4x, so:

4(18)=72

so, the three numbers are 13, 18, and 72.
