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

Consider the quadratic function f(y) = 8y2 – 7y + 6. What is the constant of the function?
Over [174]
The constant is 6. A constant is just the number on its own. Quadratics follow the form f(x) = ax^2+bx+c. The c is the constant.

ASAP HELP! BRAINLIEST! can someone help me with this? i need work shown. will mark brainliest!

Answer:

  4x^2 +12x +44 remainder 161x +84

Step-by-step explanation:

At each step, the quotient term is the ratio of the leading dividend term to the leading divisor term. The first quotient term, for example, is ...

  (4x^4)/(x^2) = 4x^2

The quotient term found this way is multiplied by the divisor and subtracted from the dividend. The difference is the new dividend and the process repeats.

You're done when the degree of the dividend is less than the degree of the divisor. This remainder can be expressed as a fraction with the divisor as the denominator.

  \dfrac{4x^4+5x-4}{x^2-3x-2}=4x^2+12x+44+\dfrac{161x+84}{x^2-3x-2}

Answer:

20. 4n+5+8n-5=180(linear pair)

12n=180

n=15

21. 9x-6=8.5x+2(can be seen from image)

9x-8.5x=2+6

0.5x=8

x=8/0.5

x=80/5

x=16

22. 4z+3z+6=90°(Complementary)

7z+6=90°

7z=84°

z=12°
