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

Can anybody help me with this

Answer:

c ≈ 9.1 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , that is

c² = 4.1² + 8.1² = 16.81 + 65.61 = 82.42 ( take square root of both sides )

c = \sqrt{82.42 } ≈ 9.1 m ( to the nearest tenth )

The time required to do a job varies inversely as the number of people working. It takes 5hr for 7 bricklayers to build a park w
ExtremeBDS [4]

<u>Answer</u>

3.5 hours.


<u>Explanation</u>

The first step is to calculate the constant of proportionality.

t ∝ 1/n

t = k/n   Where t = time, K= constant and n = number of people

t = k/n

k =tn

   = 5×7 = 35

The equation becomes;

t = 35/n

for n = 10,

t = 35/10

  t = 3.5 hours.

Answer:

x > 0 and y < 2

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition the inverse of a function is simply, when the domain and range are swapped. So if the domain of g(x) is x < 2 and y > 0, then the inverse will have these swapped. So x > 0 and y < 2

The mean absolute deviation measures which of the following from the data given?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Variability

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean absolute deviation (MAD) of a data set is the average distance between each data value and the mean. Mean absolute deviation is a way to describe variation in a data set. Mean absolute deviation helps us get a sense of how "spread out" the values in a data set are.
