Digiron [165]3 years ago

Answer:

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In an AP  the difference between consecutive terms is common (equal), thus

t₂ - t₁ = t₃ - t₂ , that is

2a + 1 - (a + 1) = 4a - 1 - (2a + 1) ← distribute and simplify both sides

2a + 1 - a - 1 = 4a - 1 - 2a - 1

a = 2a - 2 ( subtract 2a from both sides )

- a = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

a = 2

Find the missing dimension of each triangle described Height: 7 in., area: 21 in2
leonid [27]
The basic dimensions of any triangle are its area, base, and height.
They're related by the area equation; the area is half of the base times the height, or:
A=\frac{1}{2} b h
We know the area and the height, so the missing dimension has to be the base. Let's set up an equation by substituting the values the problem gives into the area equation.
21=\frac{1}{2} \cdot b \cdot 7
Can you solve this equation for b?
