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

Can someone explain box plots
slamgirl [31]

The correct answer is C because the lowest number is 4 ( out of all the numbers ), which is the dot to the above the number 4 and the largest number is 14, that is also marked by a dot above the number 18. The medians are ( the middle number ) 8 and 10, so you are going to add these to numbers together, 8 + 10 = 18, and then you have to divide it by 2, 18 ÷ 2 = 9, which means the median is 9, which is the middle line. For the 1st quartile, you have to add both the 7's and divide by 2, 7+7=14 ÷ 2 = 7, so then the 1st quartile is 7, the line closest to the 4, repeat this for the 3rd quartile, 11 + 13 = 24 ÷ 2 = 12, 3rd quartile = 12, the line closest to the number 14.
