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

#25.
Convert the fractional numbers into decimals for easier comparison.
3 2/3 is approximately 3.66
-4 2/5 is approximately -4.4
We now have: 3, 3.66, -4.2, -4.4
In order: -4 2/5, -4.2, 3, 3 2/3

#26.
All positive numbers are greater than negative numbers.
When comparing two negative numbers, the one with the larger absolute value, will be less.
So (G) is correct

#27. 
25 = m + 6.3
25 - 6.3 = m + 6.3 - 6.3
m = 18.7

#28.
h = 3.2-1.6 = 1.6

#29.
x = 15.6 - 9.8 = 5.8

#30
p = 17 - 4.5 = 12.5

ABCD is a rectangle. Find the measure of angle α to the nearest degree.
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

α ≈ 76°

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of a rectangle are right , that is 90°

Using the tangent ratio in right triangle ABC

tanα = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{BC}{AB} = \frac{12}{3} = 4, then

α = tan^{-1} (4) ≈ 76° ( to the nearest degree )

What is the reciprocal for 2 2/5​
wariber [46]

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/5 = 12/5 so its reciprocal is 5/12

Reciprocals are fractions that are basically "flipped". You flip the denominator to the numerator and vice versa.
