Answer:

The base = 8 cm and the altitude = 4 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

b = a + 4  where b = base and a = the altitude.

Area = 1/2 * a * b = 16

Area = 1/2 * a * (a + 4) = 16

1/2 a^2 + 2a = 16

a^2 + 4a - 32 = 0

(a + 8)(a - 4) = 0

a = 4 .

b = 4+4 = 8.

Which property would allow you to use mental computation to simplify the problem 27 + 15 + 3 + 5? additive identity additive inv
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Commutative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

Additive Identity: If you add a real number to zero or add zero to a real number, then you get the same real number back.

Additive Inverse: When you add the same number but reversed sign, you get 0.

Commutative Property: a + b = b + a

Addition distributive property: a(b+ c) = ab + ac.

In this case, we use the commutative property:

27 + 15 + 3 + 5 = 27 + 3 + 15 + 5.

We know that 27 + 3 = 30 and 15 + 5 = 20, so we get 50 quickly using mental math.
