The area of a triangle is 16 units square. The length is twice the height. Find the height

Norma-Jean [14]2 years ago

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

If, in 7 years, Susan will be 2 times as old as she was 3 years ago, what is Susan’s present age?
pochemuha

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Set Susan's present age as x, her age from 3 years ago as x-3, and her age in three years as 2(x-3)

Since her age in seven years = 2 times as old as she way 3 years ago, set up the equation:

x+7 = 2(x-3)

x+7 = 2x-6

x = 13

Write the points (-3,5) and (1,1) in slope-intercept form
Jobisdone [24]
Y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yint

find slope
slope between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

given
(-3,5) and (1,1)
slope=(5-1)/(-3-1)=4/-4=-1

y=-1x+b
find b
when x=1, then y=1
1=-1(1)+b
1=-1+b
add 1
2=b


y=-x+2
