Both questions make use of the formula for the area of a triangle:
.. A = (1/2)*b*h
23. A = (1/2)*b*h
.. A = (1/2)*x*7 . . . . substitute the given values
.. A = 3.5x . . . . . . . simplified
24. A = (1/2)*b*h
.. 84.5 = (1/2)*13*h . . . . . substitute the given values
.. 2*84.5/13 = h = 13 . . . .solve for h
The height of the triangle is 13 cm.
Arctan (√3 /3) = 30°. = π/6 rad
That is the value searched, in degrees and radians.
You can verifiy that tan(30°) = sin(30°) / cos(30°) = [1/2] / [√3/2] = 1/√3 = √3 / 3
The phrase has two parts:
Five times the sum of a number and eleven, divided by
three times the sum of the number and eight
Let the number be x. Five times the sum of a number and eleven means 5 multiplied to the sum of x and 11. In expression this will be written as:
5(x + 11)Three times the sum of the number and eight means 3 multiplied to the sum of x and 8. In expression this will be written as:
3(x + 8)So, the overall expression will be:
Answer:
step 1: move the -4 to the right: x^2 -2x = 4
step 2: add 1 to each side: x^2 -2x + 1 = 4 + 1
step 3: factor the left side and simplify the right side: (x-1)^2 = 5
step 4: take the square root of each side: x - 1 = sqr root of 5
step 5: move the 1 to the other side:
and
