Answer:

The height of the triangle = 24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The area of the triangle = 1/2 × base × height

∵ The length of the base = 5 times the length of the height

Let the length of the height = x, then length of the base = 5x

∴ Area triangle = 1/2 × 5x × x = 2.5 x²

∵ Area of the triangle = 1440 cm²

∴ 2.5 x² = 1440

∴ x² = 1440 ÷ 2.5 = 576

∴ x = √576 = 24 cm

∴ The height of the triangle = 24 cm

Answer: 24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculate the area of a triangle is:

A=bh/2

Where b is the base and h is the height.

Then if the base of the triangle is 5 times the height:

b=5h

Substitute the above into the formula and solve for the height. Therefore, you obtain that the height is:

1,440=\frac{5h*h}{2}\\1,440=\frac{5h^{2}}{2}

1,440cm^{2}=5h^{2}/2\\h=\sqrt{\frac{2(1,440)}{5}}\\h=24cm

The expression 100 + 20m100+20m100, plus, 20, m gives the volume of water in Marcel’s pool (in liters) after Marcel spends mmm m
Nady [450]
All you have to do is you only need to evaluate the given equation which is:100 + 20m where m would be the number of minutes = 5 1/4 minutes
100 + 20 (5 1/4) 
= 100 + 105 
= 205 cubic liters is the volume of water in Marcel’s pool after he fills it.

A bowl has 3 red beads and 7 blue beads. Two beads are selected at random one at a time. First a red bead is drawn and placed on
IceJOKER [234]

The probability that first a red bead is drawn and next a blue bead is drawn is 7/30,and both events are dependent

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The distribution of the beads are:

Red = 3

Blue = 7

Total = 10

The probability of selecting the red bead first is:

P(Red) = 3/10

When the red bead is selected, the number of beads becomes 9

So, the probability of selecting a blue bead is

P(Blue) = 7/9

The probability of the event is then calculated using:

P = 3/10 * 7/9

Evaluate

P = 7/30

Hence, the probability of the event is 7/30
