Answer:

Base = 10.4 inches

Height = 5.4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the base = x

The height of the triangle = x - 5

Area of the triangle = 52

;Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height

; 52 = [x(x - 5)]/2

; 104 = x^2 - 5

;Where x = square root of (104 + 5)

; x = 10.4

;The base(x) = 10.4 in

;The height (x - 5) = 10.4 - 5

= 5.4 in

Systems of equations.<br><br> Y= -3x+1<br> Y=x-3 How do i start it
Anvisha [2.4K]
You can set both equations together

y = -3x + 1

and y = x - 3

we can replace the y of one equation with the other side 

-3x+1 = x-3

add 3x on both sides

1 = x + 3x -3
add 3 on both sides

1 + 3 = x+ 3x

simplify

4 = 4x

divide by 4 on both sides

x = 1

y = x - 3
y = 1 - 3
y = 2

So the solution is: (1,2)

Answer: 200 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

first you think what 60/3 is and you get 20

then you multiply 20x20 and get 400

then you divide by 2 because to find the area of a triangle you use the formula (lxh)/2
