The base length of the triangle is 10 ft. and the height of the triangle is 20ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height = base + 10

Area = 100 square ft

Area of a triangle= (1/2) (b) (h)

100 = (1/2) (b) (b + 10)

200 = b(b) + 10b

b(b) + 10b - 200 = 0

b(b) + 20b - 10b - 200 = 0

b ( b + 20) -10(b + 20) = 0

(b-10) (b+20) =0

b = 10 (or) b = -20

Here b is the length and cannot be negative.

So, b = 10ft

h = b + 10

h = 10 + 10

h = 20 ft.

The base length of the triangle is 10 ft. and the height of the triangle is 20ft.

For the function F(x) = 1/x+2, which of these could be a value of F(x) when xis
hram777 [196]

Answer:

B 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the value of f(x) in the case when x = 2 is shown below

As per the question, following function is given

F(x) = (1 ÷ x) + 2

Based on this, the x = 2

Now put the x value in the above equation

So,

= (1 ÷ 2) + 2

= (1 + 4) ÷ 2

= 5 ÷ 2

= 2.5

Hence the closet number is 2

Therefore the value of f(x) in the case when x = 2 is 2

Hence, the correct option is b.

Please help!! will give brainliest and 20points!!! SUPER EASY PROBLEM
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

C. 184 ft²

Step-by-Step Explanation:

The formula for the surface area of a triangular prism is

SA = bh + 2ls + lb; where b = base, h = height, l = length, s = side

First, substitute the known value into the equation:

b = 6 ft

h = 4 ft

l = 10 ft

s = 5 ft

SA = (6)(4) + 2(10)(5) + (10)(6)

Then, all we have to do is simplify:

SA = 24 + 2(50) + 60

SA = 24 + 100 + 60

SA = 184 ft²

Hope this helps!

Select the best method of finding an accurate solution to a system of linear equations
Flura [38]

The best method for solving the system of linear equation is by the use of algebraic methods.

The system of linear equations can be solved by using the method of simultaneous equations. Here we are given two equations and two unknown variables. We can solve the same by eliminating one of the variables and then either adding or subtracting, find the value of the other variable. Once we know the value of one variable, then we can substitute its value in any one given equation and find the second variable. This method is said to be accurate and does not involve any error.

Hence answer is : USE ALGEBRAIC METHODS
