Answers:  height, "h", of a triangle:    <span> h = 2A /  (b₁ + b₂) .
___________________________________________________ </span>
Explanation:
__________________________________________________
The area of a triangle, "A", is equal to (1/2) * (b₁ + b₂) * h ; 
                                    or:  A = (1/2) * (b₁ + b₂) * h
                                    or: write as:  A =  [(b₁ + b₂) * h] / 2 ;
          ___________________________________________
                                     in which:  A = area of the triangle; 
                                                       b₁ = length of one of the bases
                                                                 of the triangle ("base 1");
                                                       b₂ = length of the other base
                                                                 of the triangle ("base 2");
                                                       h = height of the triangle;
____________________________________________________
To find the height of the triangle, we rearrange the formula to solve for "h" (height); assuming that all the units are the same (e.g. feet, centimeters); if no "units" are given, then the assumption is that the units are all the same.
We can use the term "units" if desired, in such cases; in which the area, "A" is measured in "square units"; or "units²",
_________________________________
So, given our formula for the "Area, "A"; of a triangle:
_________________________________________________
 A =  [(b₁ + b₂) * h] / 2 ; we solve for "h" in terms of the other values; by isolating "h" (height) on one side of the equation.
     If we knew the other values; we plug in the those other values.
______________________________________________
  Given:   A =  [(b₁ + b₂) * h] / 2 ;

Multiply EACH side of the equation by "2" ;
_________________________________________
            2*A = {  [(b₁ + b₂) * h] / 2 } * 2 ;
_________________________________________
to get:
_________________________________________
           2A = (b₁ + b₂) * h ;
_____________________________________________________
           Now, divide EACH side of the equation by:  "(b₁ + b₂)" ;  to isolate "h"
on one side of the equation; and solve for "h" (height) in terms of the other values;
_____________________________________
            2A /  (b₁ + b₂) = [ (b₁ + b₂) * h ] / (b₁ + b₂);
______________________________________
to get:
_______________________________________________
           2A /  (b₁ + b₂)  =  h ;  ↔<span>  h = 2A /  (b₁ + b₂)  .

There are 26 third graders and 32 fourth graders going on a field trip. Each van can carry 10 people
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Approximately 6 buses

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are wanting know how many vans they are going to need:

26 + 32                    -This helps you know how many total kids there are

= 58

58 / 10                      -This solves how many buses you'll need

= 5.8                   - Round up, and say you need 6 buses.

Given the linear programming problem, use the method of corners to determine where the minimum occurs and give the minimum value
algol [13]

Answer:

Minimum value of function C=x+10y is 63 occurs at point (3,6).

Step-by-step explanation:

To minimize :

                                   C=x+10y

Subject to constraints:

                                   x\leq 3---(1)\\y\leq 9---(2)\\x+y\geq 9----(3)\\x\geq 0\\y\geq 0

Eq (1) is in blue in figure attached and region satisfying (1) is on left of blue line

Eq (2) is in green in figure attached and region satisfying (2) is below the green line

Considering x+y\geq 9, corresponding coordinates point to draw line are (0,9) and (9,0).

Eq (3) makes line in orange in figure attached and region satisfying (3) is above the orange line

Feasible region is in triangle ABC with common points A(0,9), B(3,9) and C(3,6)

Now calculate the value of function to be minimized at each of these points.

                                    C=x+10y

at A(0,9)

                                     C=0+10(9)\\C=90

at B(3,9)

                                     C=3+10(9)\\C=93

at C(3,6)

                                     C=3+10(6)\\C=63

Minimum value of function C=x+10y is 63 occurs at point C (3,6).
