Answer:

Remi needs 15 cm of wood to be cut for the shelf.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have drawn the triangle for your reference.

Now Given:

Base measure (BC) =30 cm

Slant height (AB) = 24 cm

Slant height (AC) = 18 cm

Also Given horizontal shelf halfway between the base and the top.

In the triangle drawn horizontal shelf is denoted by DE.

We need to find the measure of DE.

Now we know that horizontal shelf halfway between the base and the top.

Hence by Midpoint theorem which states that;

"The segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side."

DE=\frac{1}{2}\times BC

Substituting the value we get;

DE = \frac{1}{2}\times 30 =15\ cm

Hence Remi needs 15 cm of wood to be cut for the shelf.

Pani-rosa [81]
Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

using the given information: area = 40 and base = 20

you now have 40 = 1/2 x 20 x height

divide both sides by 1/2

80 = 20 x height

divide both sides by 20

height = 80 / 20

height = 4 in.

The image shows a geometric representation of the function f(x) = x2 – 2x – 6 written in standard form. An algebra tile configur
Over [174]

Answer:

f(x)=(x-1)^2-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form:

f(x)=x^2-2x-6

Vertex form:

y=(x-h)^2+k

(h, k) is the vertex

x is the coordinate of the vertex

To find x use the formula:

x=\frac{-h}{2a}

f(x)=x^2-2x-6

a=1

b=-2

c=-6

Substitute:

x=\frac{-(-2)}{2(1)}=1

Substitute x in equation:

f(x)=1^2-2(1)-6\\f(x)=1-2-6\\f(x)=-7

h=1

k=-7

Substitute h, and k into the vertex formula:

f(x)=(x-1)^2-7
