Answer:

8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a triangle, we use the formula

A = 1/2 bh where b is the length of the base and h is the height

A = 24 and b = 6

24 = 1/2 (6) * h

24 =3h

Divide each side by 3

24/3 = 3h/3

8 =h

The height is 8 inches

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The height of the triangle is equal to 8 inches.

height=8in

<h2>Why?</h2>

To find the height of the triangle, we need to use the formula to calculate the area of a triangle, it's given by the following expression:

Area=\frac{base*height}{2}

So, since we already know the area and the base, we need to isolate the height from the formula, so, isolating we have:

Area=\frac{base*height}{2}\\\\\frac{Area*2}{base}=height

We know that:

Area=24in^{2} \\base=6in

Now, substituting we have:

height=\frac{Area*2}{base}

height=\frac{24in^{2} *2}{6in}=8in

Hence, we have that the height of the triangle is equal to 8 inches.

height=8in

Have a nice day!

If <br> B is the midpoint of AC, AB=x+6 and AC=5x-6, then what is BC?
nikklg [1K]

If B is the midpoint of AC, then AB=BC. It is also BC=AC-AB

AB = x + 6

AC = 5x - 6

BC = (5x - 6) - (x + 6)

We can kinda use distributive property, like this:

BC = 5x - 6 -x - 6

Combine like terms:

BC = 4x - 12

To verify, we can add AB and BC to see if their sum is equal to AC.

(x + 6) + (4x - 12) = 5x - 6

If we are correct, this equation will be true.

x + 6 + 4x - 12 = 5x - 6

Combine like terms:

6 + 5x - 12 = 5x - 6

5x - 6 = 5x - 6

It's correct!

BC = 4x - 12. Final Answer.

Let me know if you have any questions about this! :)

What is the slope of the line.
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The slope of a line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m, and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.
