Answer:

  base = 8 in; height = 3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h stand for the height of the triangle. Then 2h+2 will be the base length, and the area is ...

  A = 1/2bh

  12 = 1/2(2h+2)(h) = (h+1)(h)

We know that factors of 12 that differ by 1 are 4 and 3, so we conclude ...

  h = 3

  2h+2 = 8

Both dimensions are in inches.

_____

<em>Comment on the solution</em>

If you work through the solution of the quadratic, you find solutions are ...

  h = -4, h = 3

That is, the pairs (-4, -3) and (3, 4) are both pairs of (h, h+1) that have a product of 12.

The negative solution is extraneous.

World war 1 lasted from August 4th 1914 until November 11th, 1918. During this time an estimated 10 million lives were lost. Abo

The question is so dry, mechanical, and devoid of emotion
that it's terrifying.

There is no way to assign a number to "How many people were
dying per day", and I would prefer not even to think about it in
those terms.

-- The period of time from August 4, 1914 until November 11, 1918 is 1,560 days.

-- The "average", or better, the "unit rate" of 10 million events in 1,560 days
is the quotient

                   (10,000,000 events) / (1,560 days) 

               =  6,410.3 events per day

               =     267.1 events per hour

               =       4.45 events per minute.


Reciprocally, this is a unit rate of 

                  13.48 seconds per event,
                  sustained continuously for 4.274 years !

When will we ever learn ! ?

Please assist me with this problem​
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

  d.  about 50 times larger

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expressions for magnitude (M) can be solved for the intensity (I). Then the ratio of intensities is ...

  \dfrac{I_2}{I_1}=\dfrac{I_0\cdot 10^{M_2}}{I_0\cdot 10^{M_1}}=10^{M_2-M_1}=10^{4.2-2.5}\\\\=10^{1.7}\approx 50

The larger earthquake had about 50 times the intensity of the smaller one.

E3: Amab sells an article to Vivek at a profit of 15% and Vivek sells it to
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

the cost price is 27,715

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price be x

As Amab sells to Vivek at 15% profit

So the selling price be

= 115 ÷ 100 × x = 1.15x

And Vivek sells to sagar at a profit of 10%

= 1.15x × 110 ÷ 100

= 1.265x

Now sagar pays it for 35,060

So , the cost price be

1.265x = 35,060

x = 27,715

Hence, the cost price is 27,715
