What is the base of a triangle that has an area of 60 square centimeters and a height of 8 centimeters?

Mathematics

Answer:

I think its (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area you have to multiply (b*w)*h

and if the area is 60 you just have to divide by the height to get the base area.

60/8=7.5

Hope this helps :3

<h3>Answer:  Rhombus</h3>

======================================================

Reason:

Let's find the distance from A to B. This is equivalent to finding the length of segment AB. I'll use the distance formula.

A = (x_1,y_1) = (3,5) \text{ and } B = (x_2, y_2) = (7,6)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(3-7)^2 + (5-6)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (-1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{16 + 1}\\\\d = \sqrt{17}\\\\d \approx 4.1231\\\\

Segment AB is exactly \sqrt{17} units long, which is approximately 4.1231 units.

If you were to repeat similar steps for the other sides (BC, CD and AD) you should find that all four sides are the same length. Because of this fact, we have a rhombus.

-------------------------

Let's see if this rhombus is a square or not. We'll need to see if the adjacent sides are perpendicular. For that we'll need the slope.

Let's find the slope of AB.

A = (x_1,y_1) = (3,5) \text{ and } B = (x_2,y_2)  = (7,6)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{6 - 5}{7 - 3}\\\\m = \frac{1}{4}\\\\

Segment AB has a slope of 1/4.

Do the same for BC

B = (x_1,y_1) = (7,6) \text{ and } C = (x_2,y_2)  = (6,2)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{2 - 6}{6 - 7}\\\\m = \frac{-4}{-1}\\\\m = 4\\\\

Unfortunately the two slopes of 1/4 and 4 are not negative reciprocals of one another. One slope has to be negative while the other is positive, if we wanted perpendicular lines. Also recall that perpendicular slopes must multiply to -1.

We don't have perpendicular lines, so the interior angles are not 90 degrees each.

Therefore, this figure is not a rectangle and by extension it's not a square either.

The best description for this figure is a <u>rhombus</u>.

stepladder [879]

Answer:

area= 59.5    perimeter=31.6

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of the square is 49 because 7x7=49 and the area of the triangle is 3x7/2 because it is half of a rectangle so it is 10.5 + 49 = 59.5 and perimeter you add all the sides so 3+7.6+7+7+7= 31.6

The equation y=2(x-1)^2-5y=2(x−1)
marin [14]

Answer:

(b) It is symmetrical about x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 2(x - 1)^2 - 5

See attachment for options

Required

True statement about the graph

First, we check the line of symmetric

y = 2(x - 1)^2 - 5

Expand

y = 2(x^2 - 2x + 1) - 5

Open bracket

y = 2x^2 - 4x + 2 - 5

y = 2x^2 - 4x -3

A quadratic equation y = ax^2 + bx + c has the following line of symmetry

x = -\frac{b}{2a}

By comparison, the equation becomes:

x = -\frac{-4}{2*2}

x = \frac{4}{4}

x = 1

Hence, the line of symmetry is at: x = 1

(b) is true.
