Answer: the base is 28 inches. The altitude is 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h represent the altitude of the sign.

Let b represent the length if the base of the sign.

The warning sign is triangular in shape.

The formula for determining the area of a triangle is expressed as

Area = 1/2bh

The base of the sign is 9 inches longer than the altitude. This means that

b = h + 9

If the area of the sign is 266 square inches, it means that

266 = 1/2 × h(h + 9)

266 × 2 = h(h + 9)

532 = h² + 9h

h² + 9h - 532 = 0

h² + 28h - 19h - 532 = 0

h(h + 28) - 19(h + 28) = 0

h(h + 28) - 19(h + 28) = 0

(h + 28)(h - 19) = 0

h = 19 or h = - 28

Since the height cannot be negative, then h = 19

b = h + 9 = 10 + 9

b = 28

Alex777 [14]

Answer: Minimum: 20

Quartile Q1: 23.5

Median: 27

Quartile Q3: 31

Maximum: 35

Step-by-step explanation: The five number summary gives you a rough idea about what your data set looks like. For example, you’ll have your lowest value (the minimum) and the highest value (the maximum) or where data is more concentraced. The main reason you’ll want to find a five-number summary is to find more useful statistics, like the interquartile range IQR, sometimes called the middle fifty.

What is the product? (9t − 4)(−9t − 4) −81t2 − 16 −81t2 16 −81t2 − 72t 16 −81t2 72t 16
Alexxandr [17]
<span>We have to find the product : ( 9 t - 4 ) ( - 9 t - 4 ) = - ( 9 t - 4 ) ( 9 t + 4 ) After that we can use the difference of squares. The formula is: ( a + b ) ( a - b ) = a^2 - b^2. In this case: - ( 9 t - 4 ) ( 9 t + 4 ) = - ( 81 t^2 - 16 ) = - 81 t^2 + 16 . Answer: B ) - 81 t^2 + 16.</span>

Answer:

Resultant is 50 mi/hr in the north east direction

Step-by-step explanation:

Plane is traveling north east at 150 mi/hr.

Now a wind is blowing from the south west at 100 mi/hr.

Now, north east and south west are directly opposite directions and such the angle between the resultant speed of the plane in flight and the wind will be;

150 - 100 = 50 mi/hr

Since the north east speed is greater than the south east speed, then the direction will be north east.

Thus, resultant is 50 mi/hr in the north east direction
