The vase of the triangle would be x because it is unknown and the height would be x+2 because it is 2 more units than the base the formula for the area of a triangle is (base)(height)% 2 =area so (x)(x+2)%2=12 so then you have 1/2x^2+x=12 at this point I would move the 12 to the other side by subtracting to get 1/2x^2+x-12=0 then I would multiply it all by 2 to get x^2 + 2x-24 from there I would factor to get (x+6)(x-4) and your answers would be x= -6 and 4 and because 6 is negative it would not work because distances are always positive so the base would equal 4

Chanda can bake and decorate 72 cookies in 2.5 hours. At this rate,how long will it take her to bake and decorate 108 cookies?
In-s [12.5K]

Hello there! A. 3.75 hours is your answer.

Okay, so lets start by finding the unit rate. To find the unit rate, we can use this formula: total ÷ time = unit rate.

total (72 cookies) ÷ time (2.5 hours) = unit rate. (how many cookies she can decorate and bake in an hour)

72 ÷ 2.5 = 28.8 cookies an hour

Now that we have this information, replace the 180 cookies in for the total number and use algebra to solve.

180 cookies ÷ x time = 28.8

Since 180 is a little more than 2 times 72, A would best fit since 3.75 is much closer to 2.5 than the other options. To check this, we can place 3.75 in for x in 180 ÷ x = 28.8.

180 ÷ 3.75 = 28.8.

So, this is your correct answer.
