The area of a triangle is given by the formula b * h, where b is the base and h is the height.

We know that the base of the triangle is one third of the height.

Therefore the base = h/3

The area is 54 square metres.

h/3 * h /2 = 54
gives
 h^2/6 = 54
Multiply both sides by 6 to remove the denominator
h^2=324

h = square root of 324 = 18.

b = h/3

b = 18/3

b = 6

Answer:

192 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume for rectangular prism is V=l*w*h

V=8*4*6=32*6=192

So volume is 192 cm^3

Solve the given system of equations using either Gaussian or Gauss-Jordan elimination. (If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTI
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The system has infinitely many solutions

\begin{array}{ccc}x_1&=&-x_3\\x_2&=&-x_3\\x_3&=&arbitrary\end{array}

Step-by-step explanation:

Gauss–Jordan elimination is a method of solving a linear system of equations. This is done by transforming the system's augmented matrix into reduced row-echelon form by means of row operations.

An Augmented matrix, each row represents one equation in the system and each column represents a variable or the constant terms.

There are three elementary matrix row operations:

  1. Switch any two rows
  2. Multiply a row by a nonzero constant
  3. Add one row to another

To solve the following system

\begin{array}{ccccc}x_1&-3x_2&-2x_3&=&0\\-x_1&2x_2&x_3&=&0\\2x_1&+3x_2&+5x_3&=&0\end{array}

Step 1: Transform the augmented matrix to the reduced row echelon form

\left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 1 & -3 & -2 & 0 \\\\ -1 & 2 & 1 & 0 \\\\ 2 & 3 & 5 & 0 \end{array} \right]

This matrix can be transformed by a sequence of elementary row operations

Row Operation 1: add 1 times the 1st row to the 2nd row

Row Operation 2: add -2 times the 1st row to the 3rd row

Row Operation 3: multiply the 2nd row by -1

Row Operation 4: add -9 times the 2nd row to the 3rd row

Row Operation 5: add 3 times the 2nd row to the 1st row

to the matrix

\left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\\\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 0 \\\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{array} \right]

The reduced row echelon form of the augmented matrix is

\left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\\\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 0 \\\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{array} \right]

which corresponds to the system

\begin{array}{ccccc}x_1&&-x_3&=&0\\&x_2&+x_3&=&0\\&&0&=&0\end{array}

The system has infinitely many solutions.

\begin{array}{ccc}x_1&=&-x_3\\x_2&=&-x_3\\x_3&=&arbitrary\end{array}

Describe the transformations that maps triangle A to triangle A
Scilla [17]

The answer is A. If you translate the triangle 10 units up and reflect it over the y-axis, the triangle will be on top of the other.

Simplify The Expression:<br><br> 1/8h+7-3/4h<br><br> Thank you!
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

-5/8h + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to combine like terms (1/8h and -3/4h)

So 1/8h - 3/4h is -5/8h

Then we have our 7 left over

So the answer is -5/8h + 7
