Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
so old triangle we have 1/2 x b x h = 48
new triangle has base 3 times as long and height is half as long
so we would get:
1/2 x (3B) x (1/2H) = area
rewrite as 1/2 x 3/2 x b x H = area
divide by original are os 1/2 x b x h and you end up with 3/2
so new area = 3/2 x old area
new area = 3/2 * 48 = 72 square inches
Answer:
Therefore Josie drove 57.5 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed: The ratio of distance to time.
To find the distance we use the following formula
Given that Josie drove 45 minutes at 70 miles per hour.
In 45 minutes, she traveled = 
=52.5 miles.
The she drove 15 minutes at 20 mile per hour.
In 15 minutes, she traveled 
=5 miles
Therefore Josie drove (52.5+5) miles= 57.5 miles.

Answer:
18.4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
-use the formula C^2 = A^2 + B^2 for a right triangle, which is made by the ladder and the wall.
-let the ladder be C, the wall be a, the base to the bottom be b.
-substitude into the equation, which will leave us with:
C^2 = 17^2 + 7^2
C^2 = 289 + 49
C^2 = 338
C = square root of 338, which is 18.4 feet!
Answer:
X = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
if we say 1/2 base = <em>a</em>
a² = 13² - 12²
a² = 25
a = √25
a = 5
if 1/2 base = 5 then x = a × 2
hence X = 5 × 2 = 10
