Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

b2 = 5  


Discussion:

A = 1/2 h (b1 + b2) .

Substituting A = 16, h = 4, and b1=3 in the above formula gives:

16 = (1/2) (4)( 3 + b2)    =>         (as (1/2)4 = 2) )

16 = 2 ( 3 + b2)             =>         (divide both sides by 2)

8 = (3 + b2)                   =>         (subtract 3 from both sides)

8-3  = b2                       =>

5     =  b2


Check Area formula:

Does A = 16 = (1/2)(4)(3+5)   ?

Does 16 = (1/2) (4)(8)             ?

Does 16 = (1/2)(32)                ?  Yes it does so our calculation for b2 is correct




Thank you,

MrB

What are the domain restrictions of the expression h^2+3h−10/h^2−12h+20 ?
Grace [21]
The denominator cannot be 0, so if h^2-12h+20=0
(h-2)(h-10)=0
h=2 or h=10
So h cannot be 2 or 10, the first and third choices are correct.

What is the value of x in the equation 3x-4y=65 when y =4
Dovator [93]
3x - 4(4) = 65

First, simplify 4 × 4 to get 16. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 16 = 65
Second, add 16 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3x = 65 + 16
Third, simplify 65 + 16 to 81. / Your problem should look like: 3x = 81
Fourth, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like: x = \frac{81}{3}
Fifth, simplify \frac{81}{3} to 27. / Your problem should look like: x = 27

Answer: x = 27
