From the text you can derive the following equations:
(1) A = bh/2 = 8
(2) and h = b+6
Fill in h in (1):
b(b+6)/2 = 8 => b^2 + 6b = 16 with the quadratic formula or simply trying some values for b you can find b=2, so h=8.
Answer:
If I'm correct W should equal 54 not 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so how I solve this answer is by first figuring out how many people didn't know the name.
So, If 80% of 1,000 didn't know the name that means 800 people did not know the name.
(1000 x .8 = 800)
Then you take the total number of people, 1000, minus the people who did not know the name, 800, and you get the total number of people who did know the name which is;
(1000-800=200)
200 people knew the name of the congressman.
0% chance because there can only be 7 shocks per 10 minutes. Or 7*3 shocks per 10*3 minutes (21 per 30), so it is impossible.
