Answer:

b= 6/5

b = 1 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this using cross products

(3b-4)      (b-2)

--------- = ---------

4               8

8* (3b-4) = 4*(b-2)

Distribute

24b -32 = 4b -8

Subtract 4b from each side

24b-4b -32 = 4b-4b-8

20b -32 = -8

Add 32 to each side

20b -32+32 = -8 +32

20b =24

Divide each side by 20

20b/20 = 24/20

b= 24/20

Dividing the top and bottom by 4

b = 6/5

b = 1 4/20

   =1 1/5

Answer:

b = 6/5

or

b = 1.2 in decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this proportion

3b - 4/4 = b-2/8

the first step to take is to cross multiply

3b - 4/4 = b-2/8

we have,

4( b-2) = 8(3b -4)

we will open the bracket

4b - 8 = 24b - 32

collect the like terms or combine the like terms

4b - 8 + 32 = 24b

-8 + 32 = 24b - 4b

24 = 20b

divide both sides  by the coefficient of b which is 20

24/20 = 20b/20

b = 24/20

b = 6/5

or in decimal form

b = 1.2

PLEASE HELP QUICK A prism has 2 congruent hexagonal bases like the one shown. Each hexagon is made from 2 congruent isosceles tr
Mademuasel [1]
<h3>Answer: C) 6 units</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

Let's find the area of the hexagon. It's composed of two identical (aka congruent) trapezoids.

Each trapezoid has two parallel bases of 4+4 = 8 and 5 units. The height is 3. The area of one trapezoid is

area = height(base1+base2)/2

area = 3*(8+5)/2

area = 19.5

which doubles to 2*19.5 = 39 to represent the area of the entire hexagon

--------------------------------

The volume of any prism is found through this formula

volume = (area of base)*(height of prism)

We just found the area of the base to be 39. The height is unknown, so we'll call it h. The volume is given to be 234.

We end up with this equation

234 = 39h

which solves to h = 6 after dividing both sides by 39. This prism has a height of 6 units.

Use the information in the diagram to determine the height of the tree. The diagram is not a scale
dusya [7]
In the given diagram, we can note that the tree divides the hypotenuse of the triangle as well as the side where the tree is based into halves.

In a triangle, when a line is drawn joining between the midpoints of two sides, this line is always parallel to the third side and equals half its length.

Applying this concept to the given diagram here, we will find that the tree is joining the midpoints of two sides of the triangle. this means that the tree is parallel to the building and the height of the tree is half the height of the building.

Therefore:
height of tree = 0.5 * 120 = 60 ft
