The equation for the area of a triangle is A= b*h /2. So, plug in your known variables, and you get 270in^2= b*30 /2. First you multiply by 2 to cancel out the division for 2, which gets you 540= b* 30. To get "b" by itself, divide both sides by 30, giving you <u>18=b</u>.

To check this, plug in your new known variable, as 270= 18* 30 /2. This will equal as 270=270, confirming 18in as the correct measurement.

iris [78.8K]

$8\times10^9=2^{12}\times5^9$

1) Since in the USA 8 x 10 ^9 messages are sent every month, that means that approximately 8 billion messages are sent.

2) We can Prime factorize it:

Note that on the right side we've picked only prime numbers. In this case, 2 and 5.

So we can rewrite 8 x 10^9 as prime factors.

$8\times10^9=2^{12}\times5^9$

3) Hence, the answer is:

$8\times10^9=2^{12}\times5^9$

Marion bought 14 packages of plastic frog and lizard fishing lures. She bought frog lures in packages of 4 and lizard lures in p

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Marion bought 6 frog lures and 8 lizard fishing lures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $f$ represent frog lures and $l$ represent lizard lures.

The total packages Marion bought is

$f+l=14...eqn1$

If she bought frog lures in packages of 4 and lizard lures in packages of 6 for a total of 72 lures, then

$4f+6l=72...eqn2$

We make $f$ the subject in equation 1 and put it into equation 2 to get;

$f=14-l...eqn3$

We put equation 3 into equation 2 to get;

$4(14-l)+6l=72$

$\Righttarrow 2(14-l)+3l=36$

We expand the bracket to get;

$28-2l+3l=36$

$-2l+3l=36-28$

$l=8$

We put $l=8$ into equation 3 to get;

$f=14-8$

$f=6$

Therefore Marion bought 6 frog lures and 8 lizard fishing lures.
