Area of the triangle = (1/2)*base*height

base = x

height = altitude = x+6

Area of the triangle = (1/2)*x*(x+6) = 108

(1/2)*x*(x+6) = 108

x²+6x-216 =0

(x+18)(x-12)=0

x=-18, or x=12

We can use only positive value, so x=12.

Base =12 cm.

You meet with the financial aid office to discuss your costs for attending MGA next semester. Tuition is $113.67 per credit hour
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

$1615.05

Step-by-step explanation:

First the cost. We know that tuition per credit hour is 113.67 and there is a flat fee of 660. This can be represented by 113.67h + 660, where h is equal to the number of credit hours.

Next, the amount paid. There are two constants of 350 and 400 already there. We can represent the remaining amount that needs to be paid by another variable, x.

Now, the cost needs to be equal to the amount you pay. We can replace h with 15 for 15 hours and solve for x.

113.67h + 660 = 350 + 400 + x

113.67(15) + 660 = 350 + 400 + x

1705.05 + 660 = 750 + x

2365.05 = 750 + x

1615.05 = x

What is the area of the polygon ABCDE?
Setler [38]
The answer is 73.5

To make it a lot easier split the shapes into a rectangle and triangle.
The rectangle is a tad easier because the measurements are given here.

5 x 12 = 60 (rectangle area)

To find the triangle find the base then height. The base is 3cm and the height is 9cm (shown above)

9 x 3 = 27
Divide that by 2 because it's a triangle and you get 13.5.

Add those two numbers and voila you have your answer of 73.5.
