Answer:  using  A= bh/2   THe height is 9.23

Step-by-step explanation:  First, with the Right Angle at the bottom, usr the sides to compute the area:  12*5=60

THen Imagine the side=13 as the base, so you have  b=13 for the formula

use the formula A= bh/2

60 = 13h/2 ==> 2(60) =13h --> 120/13 = h

h = 9.23

AveGali [126]

Answer:

    The career planning process is ongoing and sequential. Since it is fluid rather than chronological, you move to the next step only when you are ready to do so, and you may move back and forth between steps at any given time. The career planning process is also cyclic. When career change is desired anytime during your work life, you may repeat the process once again. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that the majority of members of the labor force will make three to four major changes in their career during their 35 to 45 years of working. Because human beings are complex, each of us has unique aspirations, goals, potential for development, and limitations. Although we can follow the same process, career planning outcomes must be individualized.

2[3x-(4x-6)]=5(x-6)<br>Solve and answer the linear equation.
OleMash [197]

Answer: x = 6

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

2[3x - (4x - 6)] = 5(x - 6)

2[3x - 4x + 6] = 5x - 30

2[-x + 6] = 5x - 30

-2x + 12 = 5x - 30

<u>+2x        </u>  <u>+2x        </u>

        12 = 7x - 30

      <u>+30 </u>  <u>      +30 </u>

        42 = 7x

         \frac{42}{7} = \frac{7x}{7}

          6 = x

louise bought 80 metres of fencing to make an enclosure for her pet dog .tommy if louise expects a rectangular enclosure what is
OleMash [197]

Answer:

400 m^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest  area is obtained where the enclosure is a square.

I think that's the right answer because a square is a special form of a rectangle.

So the square would be 20 * 20  = 400 m^2.

Proof:

Let the  sides of the rectangle be x and y m long

The area A = xy.

Also the perimeter  2x + 2y = 80

x + y = 40

y = 40 - x.

So substituting for y in A = xy:-

A = x(40 - x)

A = 40x - x^2

For maximum value of A  we find the derivative and equate it to 0:

derivative A' =  40 - 2x = 0

2x = 40

x = 20.

So y = 40 - x

= 40 - 20

=20  

x and y are the same value so x = y.

Therefore for maximum area the rectangle is a square.

Two rectangles are similar. The length and width of the first rectangle are 12
Masja [62]

Answer:

scale factor = 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the scale factor, calculate the ratio of the length of the second rectangle to the length of the first rectangle. The corresponding ratio of widths should also equal the same ratio.

scale factor = \frac{14.4}{12} = \frac{6}{5} = 1.2
