Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle = 60 square feet

$\frac{1}{2}*base*height=60\\\\\frac{1}{2}*12*height=60\\\\height=\frac{60*2}{12}\\\\=5*2\\\\=10feet$

Answer:

10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is A=1/2bh

where A is the area B is the base and H is the height.

The area is 60 and the base is 12 so the formula will become

60=1/2*12*h

60=6*h

by dividing both ends by 6

10=h

the height of the triangle is 10.

I hope this helps :)

Solve The Equation 4x×9y=7 4x-9y=9

hoa [83]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{9}{8}-\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{8},\ y=-\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{18}}\\or\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{9}{8}+\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{2},\ y=-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{18}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}4x\times9y=7&(1)\\4x-9y=9&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\(2)\\4x-9y=9\qquad\text{subtract}\ 4x\ \text{from both sides}\\-9y=-4x+9\qquad\text{change the signs}\\9y=4x-9\qquad\text{substitute it to (1)}\\\\4x(4x-9)=7\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\(4x)(4x)+(4x)(-9)=7\\(4x)^2-36x=7\\(4x)^2-2(4x)(4.5)=7\qquad\text{add}\ 4.5^2\ \text{to both sides}\\(4x)^2-2(4x)(4.5)+4.5^2=7+4.5^2\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$

$(4x-4.5)^2=7+20.25\\(4x-4.5)=27.25\to 4x-4.5=\pm\sqrt{27.25}\\\\4x-\dfrac{45}{10}=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{2725}{100}}\\\\4x-\dfrac{45}{10}=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{2725}}{\sqrt{100}}\\\\4x-\dfrac{45}{10}=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{25\cdot109}}{10}\\\\4x-\dfrac{45}{10}=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{25}\cdot\sqrt{109}}{10}\\\\4x-\dfrac{45}{10}=\pm\dfrac{5\sqrt{109}}{10}\qquad\text{add}\ \dfrac{45}{10}\ \text{to both sides}\\\\4x=\dfrac{45}{10}\pm\dfrac{5\sqrt{109}}{10}$

$4x=\dfrac{9}{2}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{2}\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\x=\dfrac{9}{8}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{8}\\\\\text{Put the values of}\ x\ \text{to (2):}\\\\9y=4\left(\dfrac{9}{8}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{8}\right)-9\\\\9y=\dfrac{9}{2}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{2}-\dfrac{18}{2}\\\\9y=-\dfrac{9}{2}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{2}\qquad\text{divide both sides by 9}\\\\y=-\dfrac{1}{2}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{18}$

For how many minutes did Lynn run at a greater speed than Kael? 12 17 23 28.

Archy [21]

Answer:

28 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see from our graph that 12 minutes after starting the race Lynn left Kael behind and he ran at a greater speed till the race ended after 40 minutes.

To find total number of minutes Lynn ran faster than Kael we will subtract 12 from 40.

Therefore, Lynn ran at a greater speed than Kael for 28 minutes.
