Answer:

5B^{2}  - 12B +10B - 24 = 0\\\\\   Base of triangle = 2.4 Feet and Height of triangle = 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by using formula to calculate area of triangle.

<u>Area of triangle = 1/2*(base*height)</u>

given

Let base of triangle B

height if triangle H

according to problem

The height of a triangle is 2 less than 5 times its base

mathematically it can be expressed as

H = 5*B - 2

Given area of triangle= 12 sq feet

Area of triangle = 1/2*(base*height)

=> 12 = 1/2* {B*(5*B-2)}

=> 24 = 5B^2 - 2B

5B^{2}  - 12B +10B - 24 = 0\\\\\   which is a  quadratic equation

It can be solved as given below

5B^{2}  +10B - 12B  - 24 = 0\\\\\=>5B(B +2) -12(B +2) = 0\\=> (5B - 12) (B +2) = 0\\5B - 12 = 0      or B + 2 = 0\\Hence B = 12/5 \  or  \ B = -2\\\\  

Since for side of triangle B cannot be negative number hence B= 12/5 = 2.4

Therefore height of triangle = 5*B - 2 = 5*2.4 - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10

Base of triangle = 2.4 Feet and Height of triangle = 10 feet.

Equation which models this situation is

5B^{2}  - 12B +10B - 24 = 0\\\\\

Vlada [557]

Answer:

-2 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Just as you would calculate the velocity when a body moves from point A to point B in a time T, we are going to calculate the acceleration as the difference of the velocities (final - initial) and divide it by the time it took:

Velocity_final = 10 m/s

Velocity_initial = 20 m/s

Time = 5 s

acceleration = (Velocity_final -  Velocity_inital)/Time

                     = (10 m/s - 20 m/s)/5 s

                     = (-10 m/s) / 5s

                     = -2 m/s^2

The acceleration in m/s^2 is -2
