Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height
Plug in what we know.
78 = 1/2 × b × 9¾
Multilply each side by 2 to get rid of the 1/2...
156 = b × 9¾
Write 9¾ as an improper fraction.
(9¾ = 9 + 3/4 = (9×4)/4 + 3/4 = 36/4 + 3/4 = 39/4)
156 = b × 39/4
Multiply each side by 4...
624 = b × 39
Divide each side by 39...
16 = b
Done! The length of the base of the triangle is <u>16</u> inches.
Answer:
25 cent stamps = 13 and 29 cent stamps = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 25 cent stamps and y = 29 cent stamps
x + y = 28......x = 28 - y
0.25x + 0.29y = 7.60
0.25(28 - y) + 0.29y = 7.60
7 - 0.25y + 0.29y = 7.60
-0.25y + 0.29y = 7.60 - 7
0.04y = 0.60
y = 0.60 / 0.04
y = 15 <===== 29 cent stamps
x + y = 28
x + 15 = 28
x = 28 - 15
x = 13 <===== 25 cent stamps
lets check it...
0.25x + 0.29y = 7.60
0.25(13) + 0.29(15) = 7.60
3.25 + 4.35 = 7.60
7.60 = 7.60 (correct..it checks out)
Answer:
up the price will go up making the x value go up
