The face of the triangular concrete panel shown has an area of 22 square meters, and its base is 3 meters longer than twice its

Elodia [21]

Answer:

The length of the base is 11 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the triangle is not shown; However, the given details are enough to solve this question.

Given

<em>Shape: Triangle</em>

<em>Represent the height with h and the base with b</em>

$b = 3 + 2h$

$Area = 22$

Required

Find the length of the base

The area of a triangle is calculated as thus;

$Area = \frac{1}{2} * b * h$

Substitute 22 for Area and 3 + 2h for b

The formula becomes

$22 = \frac{1}{2} * (3 + 2h) * h$

Multiply both sides by 2

$2 * 22 = 2 * \frac{1}{2} * (3 + 2h) * h$

$44 = (3 + 2h) * h$

Open the bracket

$44 = 3 * h + 2h * h$

$44 = 3h + 2h^2$

Subtract 44 from both sides

$44 - 44 = 3h + 2h^2 - 44$

$0 = 3h + 2h^2 - 44$

Rearrange

$0 = 2h^2 +3h - 44$

$2h^2 +3h - 44 = 0$

At this point, we have a quadratic equation; which is solved as follows:

$2h^2 +3h - 44 = 0$

$2h^2 + 11h - 8h - 44 = 0$

$h(2h + 11) - 4(2h + 11) = 0$

$(h - 4)(2h + 11) = 0$

Split the above

$(h - 4) = 0\ or\ (2h + 11) = 0$

$h - 4 = 0\ or\ 2h + 11 = 0$

Solve the above linear equations separately

$h - 4 = 0$

Add 4 to both sides

$h - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4$

$h = 0 + 4$

$h = 4$ ---- <em>First value of h</em>

$2h + 11 = 0$

Subtract 11 from both sides

$2h + 11 - 11 = 0 - 11$

$2h = 0 - 11$

$2h = -11$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2h}{2} = -\frac{11}{2}$

$h = -\frac{11}{2}$ <em> ------ Second value of h</em>

Since height can be negative, we'll discard $h = -\frac{11}{2}$

Hence, the usable value of height is $h = 4$

Recall that $b = 3 + 2h$

Substitute 4 for h

$b = 3 + 2(4)$

$b = 3 + 8$

$b = 11$

Hence, the length of the base is 11 meters

Solve for x. 273x 9x = 243 A) x = 2 B) x = 5 7 C) x = 4 3 D) x = −1

Dominik [7]

Answer:

"X"= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. combain like terms in the equation.

2. then divide both sides by what you get after combining which could be "82".

3. then 82 divide by 82 is 0, then "x"will remain.

4. then 243 ÷ 82=2.

5. then X =2.
