Answer:

12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the base

h represents the height

area of the parallelogram = base * height = 216 square inches

From the question'

b = 18 + 3h

Slot in the value of b

216 = (18 + 3h) * h

expand

216 = 18h + 3h^2

subtract 216 from both sides

0 = 18h + 3h^2 - 216

rearrange

3h^2 + 18h - 216 = 0

divide through by 3

h^2 + 6h - 72 = 0

Now, lets solve!

h^2 + 6h - 12h - 72 = 0

h( h + 6 ) - 12(h + 6) = 0

(h - 12) (h + 6) = 0

h - 12 = 0

h = 12

and

h + 6 = 0

h = - 6

Taking the positive value of h

Hence, the height is 12 inches

Lets check

when h = 12 inches

Area of the parallelogram = 18* 12 = 216 square inches     .... correct

when h = -6inches

A = 18 * -6 ≠  216 square inches

So height is 12 inches

State the slope-intercept form of the equation for the graph with the points 3,0 and 0,-1
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The answer is y=1/3x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

m=1/3

y-y=m(x-x1)

y-(-1)=1/3(x-0)

y+1=1/3x-0

-1 -1

y=1/3x-1

Write (8a-^3) -2/3 in simplest form
Anna71 [15]

(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} = \frac{a^2}{4}

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given that,</u></em>

(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}

We have to write in simplest form

<em><u>Use the following law of exponent</u></em>

(a^m)^n = a^{mn}

Using this, simplify the given expression

(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} = 8^{\frac{-2}{3}} \times a^{ -3 \times \frac{-2}{3}}\\\\Simplifying\ we\ get\\\\(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} = 8^{\frac{-2}{3}} \times a^2\\\\We\ know\ that\ 8 = 2^3\\\\Therefore\\\\(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} =2^3^{\frac{-2}{3}} \times a^2\\\\(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} =2^{-2} \times a^2\\\\(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} = \frac{a^2}{4}

Thus the given expression is simplified

Suppose m&lt;3 = 105. find m&lt;6
tatyana61 [14]
If you mean the m^3=105, then m^6 will be ( \sqrt[3]{105}) ^6 which is 105^2 which is 11025

The sum of two numbers is 35.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Larger number(x)=20

Step-by-step explanation:

They're saying that the larger number 3 times is EQUAL(the same) to 4 times the smaller number.

The smallest number=35-x.

The larger number= x.

3 times the larger number=3x

4 times the smaller number=4(35-x)

Now, input it into an equation and solve:

3x=4(35-x) Distribute by multiplying 4 with 35 and x.

3x+4x=140-4x+4x Get 140 by itself by adding 4x.

7x/7=140/7 Divide.

x=20

Since x= the larger number, x=20.

Rachel just purchased a homeowners insurance policy for her new home that costs $0.43 per $100. Her home is worth $387,500. What
natita [175]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Do you need an explanation?

387,500 /100 = 3,875

3,875 * 0.43 = 1,666.25

I multiplied, because, if you divide with a decimal, the number increases, instead of decreasing... hope this helps!
