Answer: The base is 18.3ft

Sam wants to build a wooden deck on his patio, which is in the shape of a parallelogram. The area of the patio is 280 ft2. Find the base. Round your answer to the nearest foot. (height=5x)(base=6x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Area = 280ft^2

height = 5x

Base = 6x

The area of the parallelogram A can be written as;

Area = base × height

A = b×h

Substituting the values of Area, base and height.

280 = 5x × 6x

280 = 30x^2

x^2 = 280/30

x = √(280/30)

Since the base = 6x ;

Substituting the value of x.

Base = 6x = 6(√(280/30))

Base = 18.3ft

The base is 18.3ft

The sum of two.number is.24. the.sun.of the square.of the two.nunber is 306. what is the product.of the two.number
tresset_1 [31]
A) x + y = 24
B) x^2 + y^2 = 306

A) x = 24 -y
Then substituting this into B)
(24 - y)^2 +y^2 = 306
576 -48y +y^2 + y^2 = 306
2 y^2 -48y + 270 = 0
x1 = 15
x2 = 9
