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

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
