A triangle is 3cm wider than it is tall. The area is 44cm^2. Find the width(length of the base).

1 answer:

8 0

Set height to x, then length of base is x+3, Area formula says that
0.5*x*(x+3)=44, x(x+3)=88, x=8, x+3=11, which is the length you are looking for (11cm)

How to solve 4n²-3n-7=0

almond37 [142]

$4n^2-3n-7=0\\ \\ a=4, \ \ b=-3 \ \ c=-7\\ \\ \Delta = b^{2}-4ac = (-3)^{2}-4*4* (-7)= 9+112=121$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{ 3-\sqrt{ 121}}{2*4}=\frac{ 3-11}{8}= \frac{-8 }{ 8}=-1 \\ \\x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{ 3+\sqrt{ 121}}{2*4}=\frac{ 3+11}{8}= \frac{14 }{ 8}= \frac{7}{4}=1\frac{3}{4}$
