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

I need help on this...how do i do it
Ugo [173]

Answer:

<h2><u><em>D</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

You can first reduce this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 549 and 999. I know that

61/111

is the same as

61÷111

Then using

Long Division for 61 divided by 111

and rounding to a Max of 4 Decimal Places gives me

=0.5495/.5495

<h3>then move the decimal point a digit to the <u><em>RIGHT!!!!</em></u></h3>

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

which equation describes the line that passes through the point (-3,-2) and is parallel to the line 6x+5y=6
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

y = -6/5x - 5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 5y = 6

-6x          -6x

5y = -6x + 6

/5y    /5y

y = -6/5y + b

-2 = -6/5(-3) + b

-5.6 = b
