Answer:

  -0.6 cm/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is ...

  A = (1/2)bh

Solving for the base, we find ...

  b = 2A/h

Then the rate of change of the base is ...

  b' = 2(A'h -Ah')/h^2

Filling in the given values, we find the rate of change of the base to be ...

  b' = 2((2 cm^2/min)(20 cm) -(160 cm^2)(1 cm/min))/(20 cm)^2

  = 2(40-160)/400 cm/min

  = -0.6 cm/min

The base is decreasing at 0.6 cm/minute.

Sati [7]

Answer:

327.6 €

Step-by-step explanation:

you can solve with an equation

1£ : 1.17€ = 280£ : x

1 : 1.17 = 280 : x

x = 1.17 * 280 : 1

x = 327.6

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

check

1 : 1.17 = 280 : 327.6

0.85 = 0.85

the answer is good
