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

Find the volume of the prism
leva [86]

Using the formula given for area:

Area = 1/2 (7 +5)4 = 1/2(12)4 = 24 square cm.

Now to find the volume multiply the area by the depth:

24 x 6 = 144 cubic cm.

A car travels 20 feet in 1/5 second. At this same speed, how many feet will it travel in three seconds?
MrRissso [65]
<span>if it is travelling 20 feet in 1/5 of a second that means that in 1 second (which is 5 times as much as 1/5 of a second) it will do 5 times 20 feet hence 100 feet. Then in 3 seconds it will do 300 feet</span>
