Answer:
Height is 18 inches.
Base is 36 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the base of the triangular table top be x inches.
The height will be x inches.
The area of the triangular table top is 324 inches²
Area of a triangle = × Base × Height
342 inches² = × x ×
x
= 324
Finding the square root on both sides gives;
= 18
Therefore x (the base) = 36 inches
And (the height) = 18 inches.
Answer: Choice C (empty set)
The first thing to do is subtract 7 from both sides
|x| + 7 < 4
|x| + 7 - 7 < 4 - 7
|x| < -3
Recall that absolute value represents distance on a number line. Saying |x| is less than -3 means the distance is smaller than -3, which is impossible. Anything smaller than -3 is also negative. Distance can never be negative.
That leads us to the empty set as the solution. There are no values we can plug into any of the inequalities above, to have them lead to true statements.
Writing the special symbol is one way to represent the empty set. Another way is to write curly braces only with nothing inside them like so: { }, so its a set with nothing inside it more or less.
