The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula 

1/2 (base) (height)

Let's substitute our known values, letting x represent the value of the height of the triangle.

16  = 1/2* x* 2x

Let's Simplify!

16 = x^2

Finally, lets take the square root of both sides, to get rid of the exponent on the right side of the equation.

x= positive OR negative 4.

However, because x is equal to the height, we know that it can't be negative, so we know that it is positive 4.

The height of the triangle = 4 inches
The base of the triangle = 2h = 8 inches

Anne picked out 3 board games from her cabinet to take to a game night with her friends. She still has more than 10 board games
Tresset [83]

Answer:

x - 3 > 10

There were more than

13

board games in Anne's cabinet to start.

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable x represents how many board games were in Anne's cabinet to start. Since she has already picked out 3 board games to bring, the expression x–3 represents how many board games are still in the cabinet.

And, since Anne has more than 10 board games still in her cabinet, x–3 must be greater than 10.

This inequality shows the relationship.

x–3>10

Now, solve for x.

x–3

> 10

x–3+3

> 10+3 Add 3 to both sides

x

> 13 Simplify

So, there were more than 13 board games in Anne's cabinet to start.

A rectangle field is 350 meters long and 300 meters wide. What is the area of the field in square kilometers
balu736 [363]

Okay, so a kilometer=1000 meters, knowing that we can multiply 350*300 for the area, which would give us 105000 meters squared, then we divide 105000 by 1000, giving us 105 square kilometers.
