Answer:

8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Area= 64 square feet

Base= x feet

Height= x+8 feet

The expression for the area

A= 1/2b*h

substitute

64= 1/2*x*(x+8)

64= 1/2*x^2+8x

64= (x^2+8x)/2

cross multiply

64*2= x^2+8x

128= x^2+8x

rearrange

x^2+8x-128= 0

using the quadratic formula

a=1

b=8

c=-128

x= -b±√b^2-4ac/2a

x= -1±√8^2-4*1*-128/2*1

simplifying

x= 8

x=-16

Hence the height of the base is

h= 8 feet

alexdok [17]

Answer:C) x2 + y2 =45

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is (x-h)2+(y-k)2=r2.

Since you know the center is (0,0), you can sub this is value in for h and k, then use the point (3,6) to sub in for x and y and you will find r2 =45. Hope that helps :)

TEA [102]

Answer:

without doing the math, we can affirm that the percent in decrease in the price of the gloves is <u>not</u> the same as the percent increase of the goggles. decreasing $2 from $10 will have a lower decrease than an increase of $2 from $8 since $2 represents a higher portion of $8 compared to $10
