Answer:

The base of triangle is  \frac{8}{\sqrt{3}} \ m and the height of triangle is  \frac{12}{\sqrt{3}} \ m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A triangle has a base of x 1/2 m and a height of x 3/4 m. If the area of the triangle is 16m to the power of 2.

Now, to find the base and height of the triangle.

The base of triangle = x\times\frac{1}{2} =\frac{x}{2} \ m.

The height of triangle = x\times \frac{3}{4} =\frac{3x}{4}\ m.

The area of triangle = 16\ m^2.

Now, we put the formula of area to solve:

Area=\frac{1}{2} \times base\times height

16=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{x}{2} \times \frac{3x}{4}

16=\frac{3x^2}{16}

<em>Multiplying both sides by 16 we get:</em>

<em />256=3x^2<em />

<em>Dividing both sides by 3 we get:</em>

<em />\frac{256}{3} =x^2<em />

<em>Using square root on both sides we get:</em>

\frac{16}{\sqrt{3}}=x

x=\frac{16}{\sqrt{3}}

Now, by substituting the value of x to get the base and height:

Base=\frac{x}{2}\\\\Base=\frac{\frac{16}{\sqrt{3}}}{2} \\\\Base=\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}} \ m.

<em>So, the base of triangle = </em>\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}} \ m.<em />

Height=x\times\frac{3}{4} \\\\Height=\frac{16}{\sqrt{3}}\times \frac{3}{4} \\\\Height=\frac{12}{\sqrt{3}} \ m.

<em>Thus, the height of triangle =  </em>\frac{12}{\sqrt{3}} \ m.<em />

Therefore, the base of triangle is  \frac{8}{\sqrt{3}} \ m and the height of triangle is  \frac{12}{\sqrt{3}} \ m.

I need help with question 6 please, and thank you so much! ;)
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

A) Ms. Hynnes'

B) Mr. Charles'

Step-by-step explanation:

I start by finding the LCM (lowest common multiple) of 5, 9, and 7, which is 315. Then, to calculate the top number, I divide 315 by the denominator to determine how many times I need to multiply the numerator. For 5, it's 63, giving us a numerator of 126. For 9, it's 35, giving us a numerator of 140. For 7, it's 45, giving us a numerator of 135. I then compare the numbers to find the answer.
