Area = (1/2)bh
h = b-4

(1/2)b(b-4) = 48
b(b-4) = 48 : (1/2)
b² - 4b = 96
b² - 4b - 96 = 0
D = (-4)² - 4·(-96) = 16 + 384 = 400 = 20²
b₁ = (4-20)/2 = -8 ∅
b₂ = (4+20)/2 = 12

The length of the base = 12 m

Which digit in 1,377,207 has a value that is 1/10 the value of the 7 in the ten thousand place?

Nesterboy [21]

Considering the values of the digits in the number, we have that digit 2 has a value that is 1/10 the value of the 7 in the ten thousand place.

<h3>What are the values of the digits in the number 1,377,207?</h3>

We start counting the values from the final number, from 1 and multiplying by 10, hence:

Digit 7 has a value of 1.

Digit 0 has a value of 10.

Digit 2 has a value of 100.

Digit 7 has a value of 1,000.

Digit 7 has a value of 10,000. -> Ten thousand place.

Digit 3 has a value of 100,000.

Digit 2 has a value of 1,000,000.

One tenth of the ten thousand place is a value of 100, hence digit 2 has a value that is 1/10 the value of the 7 in the ten thousand place.

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

$\boxed{\pink{\sf\leadsto Value \ of \ x \ is \ 24^{\circ}}}$

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

In the given parallelogram we can see that , <B is 5x° and <C is equal to 2x + 12°.

And these two are co - interior angles . And sum of co - interior angles is 180°.

Hence , here

$\tt:\implies \angle DCB + \angle ABC = 180^{\circ} \\\\\tt:\implies (2x + 12)^{\circ} + 5x^{\circ}=180^{\circ} \\\\\tt:\implies 7x = (180 - 12 )^{\circ} \\\\\tt:\implies 7x = 168^{\circ} \\\\\tt:\implies x =\dfrac{168^{\circ}}{7} \\\\\underline{\boxed{\red{\tt\longmapsto x = 24^{\circ}}}}$

<h3><u>Hence the value of x is 24°</u><u>.</u></h3>
