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.

What is the approximate area of a circle with a diameter of 28 centimeters? Use π = 3.14.

larisa [96]

Formula is π * r^2

π = about 3.14 and the radius is half of the diameter so 28/2 = 14

3.14 * 14^2 = 615.44

7. The largest of the Great Pyramids in Egypt was built with a square base,

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Difference between the original and current volumes = 4013140.30 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Largest pyramid has the square base with one edge = 754 feet

Area of the square base = (Side)²

= (754)²

= 568516 square feet

Volume of the pyramid = $\frac{1}{3}(\text{Area of the base})(\text{Height})$

= $\frac{1}{3}\times 568516\times 481$

= 91152065.3 cubic feet

After erosion,

Area of the base = (745)² = 555025 square feet

Volume of the pyramid = $\frac{1}{3}(555025)(471)$

= 87138925 cubic feet

Difference between the original and current volumes of the pyramid

= 91152065.30 - 87138925

= 4013140.30 cubic feet

The coefficient of 8 • 2N is _____.

lesantik [10]

Answer:

16 is the coefficient of N.

Step-by-step explanation:

Coefficient is a multiplicative factor in some term of a polynomial, a series, or any expression; it is usually a number, but may be any expression. In the latter case, the variables appearing in the coefficients are often called parameters, and must be clearly distinguished from the other variables. The coefficients of an algebraic term can be positive or negative, and this multiplies the unknown term.

For example:

In 2a, 2 is the coefficient of a;

In x, 1 is the coefficient of x but it is not visible;

In 2/3p, 2/3 is the coefficient of p;

In -3f, -3 is the coefficient of f;

In 3 × 6t, 18 is the coefficient of t.

Variable is a symbol, commonly a single letter, that represents a number, called the value of the variable, which is either arbitrary, not fully specified, or unknown. Making algebraic computations with variables as if they were explicit numbers allows one to solve a range of problems in a single computation. A typical example is the quadratic formula, which allows one to solve every quadratic equation by simply substituting the numeric values of the coefficients of the given equation for the variables that represent them.

So,

In 8 × 2N, 16 is the coefficient of N ( 8 × 2 = 16)

N is the variable.

Please help ASAP

salantis [7]

Answer:

0.5 m/s

Falling at 32 feet/s

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first question, since it only asks for the average time between 2 and 8 seconds, those are the only two important values. When taking the inputs and outputs for 2 and 8 seconds after the throw ((2,3) and (8,6) respectively), we can take the average change by finding the change in y/change in x, so we have (6-3)/(8-2)=0.5 meters/second.

For the second question, we can similarly just take the values from the initial drop (144) and after two seconds (80) to get that the rate of change is (144-80)/(-2)=-32, so it's falling at 32 feet/second.

Let me know if you have any questions!
