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.

A caterpillar crawling in a straight line across a coordinate plane starts at point (-3,
Irina18 [472]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  15

Step-by-step explanation:

In vector form, the equation of point p on the line can be written as ...

  p = (-3, -4) +t(25 -(-3), 38 -(-4)) . . . . . for some scalar t

  p = (-3, -4) +t(28, 42)

  p = (-3, -4) +14t(2, 3)

where t takes on any value between 0 and 1.

If we let t = n/14 for some integer 0 ≤ n ≤ 14, then the coordinates of point p will be integers.

There are 15 values that n can have in the allowed range.

The caterpillar touches 15 points with integer coordinates.

Parallelogram PQRS has diagonals that are perpendicular. Based on that, which statement is most correct?
viva [34]

Answer:

B- Parallelogram PQRS is also a rhombus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Parallelogram PQRS with perpendicular diagonals

Required

Which of the option is true

(a) PQRS can be a rectangle

A rectangle do not have perpendicular diagonals.

Hence, (a) is false

<em>If (a) is false, then (d) is also false</em>

(b) PQRS can a rhombus

The diagonals of a rhombus are not perpendicular.

So (b) <em>is true</em>

<em>No need to check for (c), since only option is true</em>

Logan genetically engineered a new type of fir tree and a new type of pine tree. The combined height of one fir tree and one pin
Snowcat [4.5K]
Let f be the height of the fir trees
Let p be the height of the pine trees

We know from the problem that
f + p = 21  and 4f = 24 + p
rearrange the 2nd equation to get p = 4f - 24 and substitute into the other equation

so...
f + 4f - 24 = 21
5f - 24 = 21
5f = 45
f = 9 - height of the fir tree

substitute back into the 1st equation
9 + p = 21
p = 12 - height of the pine tree
