The area of a triangle is 15 square inches

Mathematics
1 answer:
babunello [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is

Area = \frac{1}{2} (bh)

b - base

h - height

the first step is to add the information that we know into the formula.

We know the area = 15 inches^{2} and the height = 5 inches

15 in^{2} = \frac{1}{2} (b)(5)

if we had both the base and the height, the next step would be to multiply

b x h then half the answer to work out the area but as we already have the area (15in^{2}) we need to work in reverse.

15 x 2 = 30

what is 5 multiplied by to get 30?

5 x ? = 30

30 ÷ 5 = 6

∴ the base = 6inches

to check if our answer is correct, we can place these numbers into the formula

A = \frac{1}{2} (6)(5)

A = \frac{1}{2} (30)   (30 ÷ 2 = 15)

A = 15in^{2}

I hope this was helpful :-)

A man comes into a store and steals $100 from the register without the owner knowledge. Comes back and buys $70 worth of stuff a
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer

The owner lose is $100 .

Reason

As given

A man comes into a store and steals $100 from the register without the owner knowledge.

Comes back and buys $70 worth of stuff and the owner gives him $30 in change.

i.e First man steals $100  than give back to owner when he buys  $70 worth of stuff and  the owner gives him $30 in change.

Therefore the total owner lose is the sum of  $70 worth of stuff and  $30 in change.

Total owner lose = $70 + $30

                            = $100

Therefore the owner lose be  $100 .

Hence proved

A marine biologist is studying the growth of a particular species of fish. She writes the following equation to show the length
inn [45]

Answer:

The original function is f(m) = 5(1.07)^m, with the m as an exponent

part A) if the final length is 9.19, we can set f(m) = 9.19 and solve for m

plugging it into a calculator, I get m = ~8.99, so a bit less than 9. therefore, a reasonable domain might be all the m values 9 or below, or m ≤ 9

part B) the y-intercept of a function is the value of the independent variable when the dependent variable = 0. the two variables in your problem are height and number of months - which one do you think is the independent one, and which one is dependent? then re-interpret "value of the independent variable when the dependent variable = 0" in terms of the actual quantities that the variables represent

part C) average rate of change from m = 1 to m = 9

f(9)−f(1)9−1

evaluate, and think about what that represents in terms of height and number of months
