The height of a triangle is 4 times its base. if he are of a triangle is 200cm, what is the height

1 answer:

3 0

A = (h * b) / 2
A = 200
h = 4b

200 = (b(4b) / 2
200 * 2 = b * 4b
400 = 4b^2
400 / 4 = b^2
100 = b^2
sqrt 100 = b
10 = b ..... base is 10 cm

h = 4b
h = 4(10)
h = 40 <=== height is 40 cm

$\bf y=\cfrac{2x^2-10x}{\sqrt{x}}\implies y=\cfrac{2x^2-10x}{x^{\frac{1}{2}}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\stackrel{\textit{quotient rule}}{\cfrac{(4x-10)(\sqrt{x})~~-~~(2x^2-10x)\left( \frac{1}{2}x^{-\frac{1}{2}} \right)}{\left( x^{\frac{1}{2}} \right)^2}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{(4x-10)(\sqrt{x})~~-~~(2x^2-10x)\left( \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} \right)}{\left( x^{\frac{1}{2}} \right)^2} \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{(4x-10)(\sqrt{x})~~-~~\left( \frac{2x^2-10x}{2\sqrt{x}} \right)}{x}$

$\bf\cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{(4x-10)(\sqrt{x})~~-~~\left( \frac{2x^2-10x}{2\sqrt{x}} \right)}{x} \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{ \frac{(4x-10)(\sqrt{x})(2\sqrt{x})~~-~~(2x^2-10x)}{2\sqrt{x}}}{x} \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{(4x-10)(\sqrt{x})(2\sqrt{x})~~-~~(2x^2-10x)}{2x\sqrt{x}}$

$\bf \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{(4x-10)2x~~-~~(2x^2-10x)}{2x\sqrt{x}}\implies \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{8x^2-20x~~-~~(2x^2-10x)}{2x\sqrt{x}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{8x^2-20x~~-~~2x^2+10x}{2x\sqrt{x}} \implies \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{6x^2-10x}{2x\sqrt{x}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{2x(3x-5)}{2x\sqrt{x}}\implies \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{3x-5}{\sqrt{x}}$
