A = (1/2) b * h
h = b - 5
42 = (1/2) * b * (b - 5)
42 = (1/2) * b^2 - 5b
multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction (1/2)
2(42) = 2(1/2) *b^2 - 5b
84 = b^2 -5b
Since this is a quadratic equation, subtract 84 from both sides so that it is set = to zero.
b^2 - 5b - 84 = 0
Now factor.
(b - 12)(b + 5) = 0
b - 12 = 0; b = 12
b + 5 = 0; b = -5
You can't have a negative length so the answer is 12m
To check the answer:
A = (1/2) * 12* 7
A = 42 m^2
Answer:
14.85
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle is given by
A = 1/2 bh where b is the base and h is the height
A =1/2 ( 6.6)(4.5)
A = 14.85
I believe its 16...
48 divided by 3!
hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer
When you translate either left or right, the x coordinate is the one that you change. To go right when you are dealing with a point, you must add the amount you are asked to go right. So when you go right 3 units, add 3 to the 5.
(5 + 3,1) = (8,1)
when going across the y axis, you are still only changing the x coordinate.
All you need do is put a minus sign in front of the x coordinate. So your final answer is (-8,1)
