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 minimum and maximum possible areas of a rectangle measuring 6 km by 11 km.
ExtremeBDS [4]
Assuming your numbers are rounded to the nearest km, the minimum area will be ...
  (5.5 km)·(10.5 km) = 57.75 km² . . . minimum

And the maximum area will be ...
  (6.5 km)·(11.5 km) = 74.75 km² . . . maximum

_____
When a number is rounded to 6 km as the nearest km, its value may actually be anywhere in the range 6 km ± 0.5 km. If you really want to get technical about it, the ranges of possible dimensions are [5.5, 6.5) km and [10.5, 11.5) km, and the range of possible areas is [57.75, 74.75) km².

yan [13]

Answer:

The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try!
