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 ;
_______________________________________________________
  → round to 10.61 units .

Reduce to simplest form. - 3/5 + 1/3

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: -4/15

Step-by-step explanation: To add these two fractions together,

we start by finding their <em>Least Common Denominator</em> (LCD).

Since our denominators of 5 and 3 have no factors in common,

our least common denominator is 5 · 3 or 15.

In order to get a denominator of 15 in each fraction,

we multiply top and bottom of the first fraction by 3

and top and bottom of the second fraction by 5.

That gives us -9/15 + 5/15 which simplifies to -4/15.

As your last step, make sure that the fraction

that you end up with doesn't reduce.

In this case, -4/15 does not reduce but watch out for this last step.

otez555 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the hypothenuse is the largest side in the right triangle

we have 2 side, 7,8

in a right triangle, c^2= a^2+b^2

where c is the hypothenuse

c^2=49+64=113

c=sqrt113=aprox 10.6

so, the answer is no if it has to be exactly 10 ft the hypotenuse
