Answer:

The length of the altitude is 16 centimeters and the base is 7 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of triangle is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}bh ----> equation A

where

b is the base and h is the height

h=2b+2 ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation a

A=\frac{1}{2}b(2b+2)

we have that

A=56\ cm^2

so

56=\frac{1}{2}b(2b+2)

112=2b^2+2b

2b^2+2b-112=0

solve the quadratic equation by graphing

the solution is b=7 cm

see the attached figure

Find the value of h

h=2(7)+2=16\ cm

therefore

The length of the altitude is 16 centimeters and the base is 7 centimeters

On a board measuring 1x100, each square is numbered from
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

97

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following conditions :

board measuring 1x100, each square is numbered from 1 to 100

Three colors are used to paint the squares from left to right in the sequence :

one blue, two reds and three green squares in a repeated pattern.

What is the highest numbered square that is painted blue?

The sequence of painting is repeated after :

(1 + 2 + 3) = 6 successive squares

Since the number of squares = 100

Maximum complete repetition possible :

100 / 6 = 16 remainder 4

Hence 16 * 6 = 96 (the highest complete sequence terminates on the square numbered 96)

On the 97th square, another sequence begins which is a blue and the 100th square is painted the first of the 3 green colors.

Hence, the highest numbered square that is painted blue is 97

What is the sum of all measures of the interior angles of a regular pentagon?
Ugo [173]
There are 540 degrees total in the interior angles of a regular pentagon.

Just so you know, the total degrees of interior angles goes up by 180 degrees.

A triangle is 180 degrees, a quadrilateral 360, and a pentagon 540.

HELPPP PLEASE <br>50 POINTSS​
victus00 [196]

Answer:

184

Step-by-step explanation:

edmund as a 2 by 2 cube

so samuel has a cuboid twice as long

2 x 2 = 4

3 times as wide

3 x 2 = 6

and 4 times as high

2 x 4 = 8

8 x 6 x 4 = 192 small cubes

but we are trying to find how much more samuel got

so 192 - 8 = 184
