Answer: The height is: 10.61 units.
{or, write as: "(7.5 √2) units"}.
_____________________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________________
Area of a triangle: A = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * b * h ;

Given: b = 1.5 * h ;
A = 75 units²
______________________________
Solve for "h" ("height") ; h = 1.5 b ;
_________________________________
So, we solve for "b" ; then we plug that value into the equation:

→ h = 1.5 b ; to get the height, "h" ;
______________________________________________________
→ 75 = 1/2 * (b) (1.5 b) ;
______________________________________________________
Multiply the ENTIRE equation by "2" ;
to get rid of the fraction and decimals ;
______________________________________________________
→ 2 * { 75 = 1/2 * (b) (1.5 b) } ;
______________________________________________________
→ 150 = b * 3b ;
______________________________________________________
→ 150 = 3 b² ;

↔ 3 b² = 150 ;
______________________________________________________

Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "3" ;
_________________________________________________
→ 3 b² / 3 = 150 / 3 ;
_________________________________________________
→ b² = 50 ;
_________________________________________________
Now, take the POSITIVE square root of each side of the equation;
to isolate "b" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "b" ;
_________________________________________________
   → √(b²) =  √50
<span>_________________________________________________
</span>   → b =  √50
_________________________________________________
→ √50 = √25 *√2 = 5√2

h = (1.5) b = (1.5) *(5) (

→    h = 1.5 * 5 * √2 ;
_________________________________________________
→ h = (7.5 √2) units ;

or, (7.5) * (√2) = 10.6066017177982129 units ;

  → round to 10.61 units .

A lawn mower is pushed a distance of 100 ft. Along a horizontal path by a constant force of 60 lbs. Yhe handle of the lawn mower

stira [4]

For this case we have the following equation:
w = F • PQ
Where,
w: work done
F: is the force vector
PQ: is the vector of the direction of movement.
Rewriting the equation we have:
w = || F || • || PQ || costheta
Substituting values:
w = (60) * (100) * (cos (45))
w = (60) * (100) * (root (2) / 2)
w = 4242.640687 lb.ft
Answer:
The work done pushing the lawn mower is:
w = 4242.6 lb.ft

Find the area and the circumference of a circle with radius 6cm.

OLga [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the circumference of a circle is expressed as

Circumference = 2πr

Where

r represents the radius of the circle

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

From the information given,

Radius = 6 cm

Therefore,

Circumference = 2 × 3.14 × 6

Circumference = 37.68 cm

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

Area = πr²

Area = 3.14 × 6² = 113.04 cm²

Yes the ratio would change because it needs 3 times more than the original amount so you would multiply it by 3

Write an equation for a line that is parallel to 2x+5y=15 and passes through the point (-10, 3)

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The equation of the line is,

$y = - \frac{2}{5} x - 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to write it in a form of y = mx + b :

$2x + 5y = 15$

$5y = 15 - 2x$

$y = 3 - \frac{2}{5} x$

$y = - \frac{2}{3} x + 5$

When both lines are parallel to each other, they will have to same gradient value. So the equation of the line is y = (-2/5)x + b. Next, you have to find the value of b by substutituting (-10,3) into the equation :

$y = - \frac{ 2}{5}x + b$

$let \: x = - 10,y = 3$

$3 = - \frac{2}{5} ( - 10) + b$

$3 = 4 + b$

$3 - 4 = b$

$b = - 1$
