Since the area of a triangle is in the form
area=0.5(base)(height)
height=base+7
let base=x
area=0.5(x)(7+x)
30=3.5x+0.5x^2
multiply the equation by 2
60=7x+x^2
subtract 60 from both sides
x^2+7x-60=0
(x-5)(x+12)=0
thus x=5 or x=-12 since we are only considering positive answers
x=-12 is rejected
so base=5 and height=5+7=12

Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 42 mpg, all you need to do is divide 126/3 or 210/5 and they both equal 42.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A rational number are numbers that can be expressed as as fraction. They can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. An irrational is quite the opposite. An irrational number cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers.
Taking square root of two as an example;
√2 cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers because the result will always be a decimal. If expressed as √2/1, it is still not a rational number because of the square root of 2 at the numerator. Square root of 2 is not an integer even though 1 is an integer.
Mark is wrong because √2 is irrational and it is irrational because it cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers <em>not due to the fact that he can write it as a fraction.</em>
