Answer:
- base: 2.18 m
- height: 7.35 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b represent the base of the triangle in meters. Then the height is ...
h = 3 +2b
and the area is ...
A = 1/2bh
8 = 1/2(b)(3 +2b)
16 = 3b +2b^2 . . . . . . . multiply by 2 and eliminate parentheses
2(b^2 +3/2b + (9/16)) = 16 + 9/8 . . . . . . complete the square
2(b +3/4)^2 = 17.125
(b +3/4)^2 = 8.5625 . . . . . divide by 2
b + 0.75 = √8.5625 ≈ 2.9262
b = -0.75 +2.9262 = 2.1762
h = 3 +2b = 7.3523
The base is about 2.18 meters and the height is about 7.35 meters.
Multiple 6 with 3 and 1 with 2
2/18 = 19
Plane #1 speed: x mph
Plane #2 speed: (x+30) mph
time = time becomes
170 mi 185 mi
---------- = --------------
x x+30
Solving for x, the speed of the slower plane, we get
170x + 5100 = 185 x
5100
Then 15x = 5100, and x = ---------- (mi/hr) = 340 mph
15
The slower plane flies at 340 mph, and the faster one at 370 mph.
