Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start by labeling the triangle. Lets say the height is x and the base is x-16.

Next, we know the area of the triangle is 96, so we should make an equation. The area (96) of a triangle is (b*h)/2. So lets substitute.

96=[(x-16)*x]/2

Now, we should simplify the equation. Let us start by moving the /2 to the other side and making it *2.

192=(x-16)*x

Open parenthesis and get

192=x^2-16x

simplify and get

x=24

x is the height so the base must be x-16.

base=8, height=24

A machine takes 5.4 hours to make 9 parts. At that rate how many parts can the machine make in 25.8 hours
Sliva [168]
\frac{5.4}{9} = \frac{25.8}{x}    Cross multiply.

5.4x=9*25.8

5.4x=232.2    Divide both sides by 5.4

x=43

Answer:

\boxed{x^2+y^2 = 49}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we'll find the length of the radius using distance formula and the coordinates (0,0) and (7,0)

Distance Formula = \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}

R = \sqrt{(7-0)^2+(0-0)^2}

R = \sqrt{7^2}

Radius = 7 units

<u><em>Now, Equation of circle:</em></u>

(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2 = R^2

Where (a,b) = (0,0) So, a = 0, b = 0 and R = 7 units

=> (x-0)^2+(y-0)^2 = (7)^2

=> x^2+y^2 = 49

This is the required equation of the circle.
