Answer:

x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that the area of a triangle can be found using the formula: a = 1/2(bh).

We also know that the area of this triangle can be represented by (x^2-4).

Lastly, we know that one of the legs (let's call it the base) can be represented by (2x+4).

Let's plug in those values to the original formula: x^2 - 4 = 1/2(2x + 4)h

Now, let's solve for h!

We can multiply both sides by 2, then divide each side by (2x + 4) to isolate/solve for h.

If you need help on dividing polynomials, feel free to reach out!! I'd be happy to explain.

h = (x - 2)

Lance says that you can compare any decimal numbers the way that you alphatbetize words you can tell which number is first by co

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

No, Lance's thinking is wrong because you cannot compare decimal numbers with alphabetizing words. For example, if we compare 37.6 to 7.42 using the method of Lance, we would probably say 37.6 is less than 7.42 because 3 is less than 7. But it is wrong. The 3 in 37.6 is in the tens place. On the other hand, 7.42 contains no tense. Therefore, 37.6 is actually higher.

Identify the equation of the circle that has its center at (16, 30) and passes through the origin

Veronika [31]

To solve this question, we have to find the equation of the circle with given center and where it passes. Doing this, we get that the equation of the circle is:

$(x - 16)^2 + (y - 30)^2 = 1156$
