Area = 1/2 Base x Height

Let x= Base, then x+3 = height

35 = 1/2(x)(x+3)

35 = 1/2(x2) + 3/2(x)

70 = x2 + 3x

x2 + 3x - 70 =0

(x+10)(x-7) = 0, x= -10 or 7 (-1 is impossible) so base = 7, height = 10

Which is a solution to the equation?<br> (x - 3)(x - 5) = 35<br> x= -8<br> x=-5<br> x=2<br> x = 10
JulijaS [17]

(x-3)(x-5)=35

Multiply the brackets together

x*x-5*x-3*x-3*5

x^2-8x+15=35

Move +35 to the other side. Sign changes from +35 to -35

x^2-8x+15-35=35-35

x^2-8x-20=0

(x-10)(x+2)=0

x-10=0     x+2=0

Move -10 to the other side. Sign changes from -10 to +10

x-10+10=0+10   x+2-2=0-2

 x=10                      x=-2

Answer: x=10

If the lengths of the sides of the base remain fixed and height
<span>is multiplied by a factor 10, than new height is H=10h and the volume is

If point E is the midpoint of and point D is the midpoint of , which expression represents the value of s
iogann1982 [59]

The length of ED is half the length of AB.

<h3>What is the length?</h3>
  • Distance is measured by length.
  • Length is a quantity with the dimension distance in the International System of Quantities.
  • Most measurement systems use a base unit for length from which all other units are derived.
  • The meter is the foundation unit of length in the International System of Units.

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

In ΔABC, point E is the midpoint of AC

The midpoint of BC is the point D

Segment ED = s

Segment CE = p

Segment EA = r

Segment CD = q

Segment DB = t

Segment ED = s

Segment AB = u

Required:

The expression that represents the value of s.

Solution:

CE = 0.5 × AC Definition of midpoint

CD = 0.5 × CB Definition of midpoint

Therefore, we have;

\frac{CE}{AC} =\frac{CD}{CB} =0.5

Therefore, given that ∠C ≅ ∠C, by the reflexive property, we have;

ΔABC is similar to ΔCDE by Side-Angle-Side similarity

Which gives;

\frac{CE}{AC} = \frac{CD}{CB}  = \frac{ED}{AB} =0.5=\frac{1}{2}

ED = s and AB = u which gives;

\frac{ED}{AB}=\frac{s}{u}  =0.5=\frac{1}{2}

\frac{s}{u} =\frac{1}{2}

Which gives:

s=\frac{1}{2} *u

The expression that represents the value of s is; s = one-half u

Therefore, the length of ED is half the length of AB.

 A movie projector positioned 34 feet from a wall creates an image that is 8 feet wide on the wall. if a screen is placed 5 fee
inessss [21]

Answer: 1.48ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle, θ, at which the projector "spreads" the image is constant.

We know that:

"A movie projector positioned 34 feet from a wall creates an image that is 8 feet wide on the wall"

We can think this problem as the image in the end, two triangle rectangles with cathetus equal to 34 ft, and 8/2 ft = 4ft

Then this angle θ can be calculated because we know the two cathetus of this triangle:

Tan(θ) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)

Tan(θ) = 4ft/34ft

θ = Cotan(4/34) = 8.46°

Now, if you move the place the projector 5ft from the wall, now the adjacent cathetus is 5ft instead of 34.

Then we have:

Tan(8.46°) = x/5ft

Tan(8.46°)*5ft = x = 0.74ft

But remember that the actual width of the image will be two times that, so the width is:

W = 2*0.74ft = 1.48ft

How many minutes will it take for an ambulance to reach a person who has suffered a stroke 6 miles away, if the ambulance drives
AysviL [449]

Answer:

6.21 minutes approx

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Distance = 6 miles

Speed = 58miles per hour

We know that the expression for speed is

Speed= distance/time

substitute

58= 6/time

time= 6/58

time=0.10 hours

To minutes

=6.21 minutes approx
