Solve for a. Correct answer gets BRAINLIEST

Hey there!!

Equation given :

A = h ( a + b ) / 2

Multiply by 2 on both sides

2A = h ( a + b )

Divide by h on both sides

2A / h = a + b

Subtract by b on both sides

2A / h - ( b ) = a

Hence, the option ( a ) is the correct answer

Hope my answer helps!

The ratio of the length and the breadth of rectangle is 2:1.If the rectangle is 12m long, find the its breadth

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

6m

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the length and the breadth of rectangle=2:1

Let length be 2x, then breadth = x

Now,

Length(l)=12 m

or,2x=12m

or,x=6m

x=breadth=6m

Answer:

<em>(a) x=2, y=-1</em>

<em>(b) x=2, y=2</em>

<em>(c)</em> $\displaystyle x=\frac{5}{2}, y=\frac{5}{4}$

<em>(d) x=-2, y=-7</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Cramer's Rule</u>

It's a predetermined sequence of steps to solve a system of equations. It's a preferred technique to be implemented in automatic digital solutions because it's easy to structure and generalize.

It uses the concept of determinants, as explained below. Suppose we have a 2x2 system of equations like:

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{ax+by=p} \atop {cx+dy=q}} \right.$

We call the determinant of the system

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}a &b \\c &d \end{vmatrix}$

We also define:

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}p &b \\q &d \end{vmatrix}$

And

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}a &p \\c &q \end{vmatrix}$

The solution for x and y is

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}$

(a) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{x+y=1} \atop {x-2y=4}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1 \\1 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-1=-3$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1 \\4 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-4=-6$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1 \\1 &4 \end{vmatrix}=4-3=3$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{3}{-3}=-1$

The solution is x=2, y=-1

(b) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{4x-y=6} \atop {x-y=0}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}4 &-1 \\1 &-1 \end{vmatrix}=-4+1=-3$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}6 &-1 \\0 &-1 \end{vmatrix}=-6-0=-6$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}4 &6 \\1 &0 \end{vmatrix}=0-6=-6$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

The solution is x=2, y=2

(c) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{-x+2y=0} \atop {x+2y=5}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}-1 &2 \\1 &2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-2=-4$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}0 &2 \\5 &2 \end{vmatrix}=0-10=-10$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}-1 &0 \\1 &5 \end{vmatrix}=-5-0=-5$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{-10}{-4}=\frac{5}{2}$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{-5}{-4}=\frac{5}{4}$

The solution is

$\displaystyle x=\frac{5}{2}, y=\frac{5}{4}$

(d) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{6x-y=-5} \atop {4x-2y=6}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}6 &-1 \\4 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=-12+4=-8$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}-5 &-1 \\6 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=10+6=16$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}6 &-5 \\4 &6 \end{vmatrix}=36+20=56$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{16}{-8}=-2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{56}{-8}=-7$

The solution is x=-2, y=-7

If an angle is obtuse what type of angle is its supplement

Butoxors [25]

The supplement of an obtuse angle is an acute because the angle number for an obtuse angle is any number greater than 90 degrees. So an acute angle is less than 90 degrees. The "supplement" definition is "any number less than 180 degrees."

Hope this helps,
