Answer:

base = 16 cm

height = 7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a rectangle = base (b) x height (h)

base (b) = 9 + h

area = 112 cm²

plug in values:

112 = (9 + h) * h

112 = 9h + h²

h² + 9h - 112 = 0

<u>h can be solved using quadratic equation</u>

       -9 ± √ (9² - 4 (1) (-112))

h = --------------------------------------

                        2

     -9 ± √529

h = ----------------

            2

h = 7  ;    h = -16

therefore  the height of  a rectangle (h) = 7 cm

<u>solve for base (b)</u>

base (b) = 9 + h

base (b) = 9 + 7

base (b) = 16 cm

proof:

area of a rectangle = base (b) x height (h)

112 = 16 * 7

112 = 112 ---- ok

Thomas took three 100-point quizzes, and the mean score for the three quizzes was 87 points. If the highest score is taken away,
Olegator [25]

Answer:

The highest score is 94.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the highest score be denoted by, <em>A</em>, the lowest score be, <em>B</em> and the middle score be <em>X</em>.

Then,

A + X + B = 87 × 3 = 261 ...(i)

X + B = 83.5 × 2 = 167 ...(ii)

⇒ B = 167 - X ...(iii)

A + X = 89 × 2 = 178 ...(iv)

⇒ A = 178 - X ...(v)

Substitute (iii) and (v) in (i) and solve for <em>X</em> as follows:

A + X + B = 261

178 - X + X + 167 - X = 261

345 - X = 261

X = 84

Substitute the value of <em>X</em> in (iii) and solve for B as follows:

B = 167 - X

   = 167 - 84

   = 83

Substitute the value of <em>X</em> in (v) and solve for A as follows:

A = 178 - X

   = 178 - 84

   = 94

Thus, the highest score is 94.
