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\\\\\

Find the perimeter of the following shapes.
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

4. (a) = 12 m

   (b) = 27 cm

   (c) = 24 mm

   (d) = 18 km

   (e) = 10 m

   (f) = 36 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is sum the distance round a figure.

if a shape has those, they signify that the shape has two side that are equal

a)  4 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 12. The top part is equal to the bottom part signified by those two lines. And the left is equal to the right .

b)  10 + 10 + 7 = 27

c) 5 + 5 + 8 + 6 = 24

d)  3 + 3 + 6 + 6 = 18

e) 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 = 10

f) 12 + 7 + 7 + 5 + 5 = 36

If you need any clarification or more explanation pls do mention in the comment section. i would like to help more.

Hope this helps and if it does pls mark as branliest answer thx.

-2(x+2/3)+1=5 Please somebody help me out there in brainly land
Harrizon [31]
X=-1.8
To solve first use the distributive property to change the equation to -2x+1 1/3+1=5
Then you subtract 1 from 5 so then the equation looks like this: -2x+1 1/3=4
Next subtract 1 1/3 from 4 to get 3.6
then divide it by -2 and you get -1.8
