Two triangles have the same heights. One triangle has a base length that is twice the base length of the other triangle. Are the

base lengths and the areas of the two triangles proportional?
Mathematics

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a triangle is A = (1/2)bh,

For the first triangle we can leave it in general terms, so it's area is

A = (1/2)bh, depending on what b and h are, but it doesn't matter here...

The second triangle has base that is twice the other triangles base.  Bases being multiples of each other is the definition of being proportional so the bases are proportional, an the area of the second triangle is

A = (1/2)(2b)h,   which simplifies to

   A = bh

Comparing the 2 areas, you can see that one has a multiplier of (1/2), so their areas are proportional

A wheelchair ramp near the door of a building has an incline of 15 degrees and a run of 7.11 m from the door. Calculate the leng
OLga [1]
Angle of elevation is 15 degrees and we're trying to solve for the hypotenuse of the right triangle given the adjacent is 7.11 m. 

We could use primary trig ratios to solve - COS. 

Let x represent the length of the ramp (hypotenuse) 

Cos15= ADJACENT/HYPOTENUSE 
Cos15= 7.11/x 
x=7.11/cos15 
x=7.36 m 

<span>Therefore, the ramp is 7.36 m in length.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

Solve for x<br><br> 2x+21/3 =5
Jlenok [28]

x = -1

Simply get the variable on one side of the equation alone and simplify:

2x = 5 - 21/3

2x = 15/3 - 21/3

2x = -6/3

2x = -2

x = -1
