Let us assume base of the window = b feet.

Height is 3 feet less than base, that is = (b-3).

Given area of the triangle = 20 feet square.

We know formula for area of a triangle:

Area = \frac{1}{2} × Base × Height

Plugging values in formula, we get

20 = \frac{1}{2} b \times (b-3)

\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}2

40=b\left(b-3\right)

40=b^2-3b

b^2-3b-40=0

Factoring quadratic, we get

\left(b+5\right)\left(b-8\right)=0

b+5=0

b=-5

b-8=0

b=8.

For base we can take only positive value.

<h3>Therefore, base of the triangle = 8 feet and height = 8 -3 = 5 feet.</h3>

Mykel is picking out some movies to rent, and he has narrowed down his selections to 66 foreign films, 33 children's movies, 66
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Mykel can make 2.79 x 10³² different combinations

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem using combination

The formula for combination is ⁿCₐ = \frac{n!}{(n - a)!a!}

where n = total number of choices available

a = number of items being chosen

The total movies Mykel wants is 99.

Taking out the sure 66 drama movies,

Mykel is left with 99 - 66 choices = 33 choices.

The total number of choices he is left with is 66 foreign + 33 children + 44 documentaries = 143 movies

Hence, our n = 143 movies

and a = 33 choices

Hence we do, ¹⁴⁴C₃₃ = \frac{143!}{(143 - 33)!33!} = \frac{143!}{110!33!} 2.79 x 10³² combinations

∴ Mykel can make 2.79 x 10³² different combinations.

For the geometric sequence of a1=2 and r=2 find a5
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

a_5 = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term for the geometric sequence is given by:

a_n = a_1 \cdot r^{n-1}

where,

a_1 is the first term

r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms.

As per the statement:

For the geometric sequence of a_1=2 and r=2

We have to find a_5

for n = 5;

a_5=a_1 \cdot r^{n-1}

Substitute the given values we have;

a_5 = 2 \cdot 2^4 = 2 \cdot 16

⇒a_5 = 32

Therefore, the value of a_5 is, 32
