$h = \frac{2A}{b} \ \ \ and\ \ \ A=26\ cm^2\ \ \ and\ \ \ b=8\ cm\\\\h= \frac{2\cdot26}{8} = \frac{2\cdot2\cdot13}{2\cdot2\cdot2} = \frac{13}{2} =6.5\ [cm]\\\\Ans.\ D$

One of the Same side angles of two parallel lines is 60° greater than the other. Find the two angles.

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

60,120

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that angles on the same side of the transversal always add up to 180 ( are supplementary)

Hence, taking one of the angles as x we get,

x+(60+x)=180

2x+60=180

2x=120

x=60

Hence, one angle is 60 degrees while the other 120 degrees

Julia is allowed to watch no more than 5 hours of television a week. So far this week, she has watched 1.5 hours. Write and solv

Leona [35]

The inequality is used to solve how many hours of television Julia can still watch this week is $x + 1.5 \leq 5$

The remaining hours of TV Julia can watch this week can be expressed is 3.5 hours

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Given that Julia is allowed to watch no more than 5 hours of television a week

So far this week, she has watched 1.5 hours

To find: number of hours Julia can still watch this week

Let "x" be the number of hours Julia can still watch television this week

"no more than 5" means less than or equal to 5 ( ≤ 5 )

Juila has already watched 1.5 hours. So we can add 1.5 hours and number of hours Julia can still watch television this week which is less than or equal to 5 hours

number of hours Julia can still watch television this week + already watched ≤ Total hours Juila can watch

$x + 1.5 \leq5$
