The formula for area of a triangle is 1/2 x base x height.

Let the height = x

Then the base (length) = 2x ( twice the height)

You know have 16 = 1/2 * 2x * x

Multiply both sides by 2 to remove the 1/2:

32 = 2x * x

Simplify the right side:

32 = 2x^2

Divide both sides by 2:

16 = x^2

Take the square root of both sides:

X = 4

The height is 4 units and the length is 8 Units

A circle has a radius of 3 feet. What is the circumference of a bigger circle if the scale factor of the smaller to bigger is 4:

Vaselesa [24]

Big/small=4/7

r1/r2=4/7 where r1, r2 are radius of a big and small circles respectively

r1/3=4/7

r1=12/7

circumference of a big circle is2πr1=2π*12/7=24π/7 cm

Write a function rule for the area of rectangle whose length is 2ft more than its width. What is the area of the rectangle when

Marianna [84]

According to the problem, the length is 2 feet more than its width, which is expressed as the following function

$l=w+2$

If the width is x, then the length is x+2.

We can express the following function for the area

$A(x)=x(x+2)$

Let's replace the width x = 11 ft.

$A(11)=11\cdot(11+2)=11(13)=143$ <h2>Hence, the area is 143 square feet. </h2><h2>The function for the area is</h2> $A(x)=x(x+2)$

Where x represents the width.
