Answer:

b = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ bh ( b is the base and h the height )

Here h = 3x + 15 and A = 15x + 75, thus

$\frac{1}{2}$ × b × (3x + 15) = 15x + 75

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

b(3x + 15) = 30x + 150

Divide both sides by (3x + 15)

b = $\frac{30x+150}{3x+15}$ ← factor numerator and denominator

= $\frac{30(x + 5)}{3(x+5)}$ ← cancel the factor (x + 5) on numerator/denominator

= $\frac{30}{3}$

= 10

Answer:

b = 10ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = ½ × base × height

15x + 75 = ½ × base × (3x + 15)

30x + 150 = base × (3x + 15)

10(3x + 15) = base × (3x + 15)

base = 10

Lakelyn is training for a triathlon she is practising her swiming running and biking skills so far she can swim at a rate of 250

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

It would take Lalelyn bout 3 hours to run the 18m miles, and it will take her

$\frac{x}{1.7} +\frac{y}{6} +\frac{z}{12} = t$ and x +y+z =18 where x, y, and z are the distannce covered swimming, running and bikinr respectifully

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we lisrt out the variables as follows

Swimming speed of Lakelyn = 250 yards every 5 minutes or 250×12 = 3000 yards/hour = 1.7 miles/hr

Running speed of Lakelyn = 6 miles/hour

Biking speed = 12 miles/hour

The duration it will take for Lakelyn to run 18 miles is given by

Timee taken to run 18 miles t = (Distance covered)/ (Speed of Lakelyn))

or t = D/S

Substituting the known values of such as

Running speed of Lakelyn = 6 miles/hour

From which we have the time taken to run 18 miles = 18 miles /(6 miles/hour) = 3 hours

should the 18 miles form part of the triathlon then, we have

$\frac{x}{1.7} +\frac{y}{6} +\frac{z}{12} = t$ and x +y+z =18

Where x, y and z are the distance covered Swimming, Running and Biking respectively

The other leg is 12cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Hypotenuse = c = 15cm

One leg = a = 9cm

Other leg = b

As the triangle is right angled, therefore, using Pythagoras theorem;

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\(9)^2+b^2=(15)^2\\81+b^2=225\\b^2=225-81\\b^2=144\\$

Taking square root on both sides;

$\sqrt{b^2} =\sqrt{144} \\b=12\ cm$

The other leg is 12cm long.
