Area of a triangle=bh/2
27= x(x-3)/2
27= (x^2-3x)/2
54= x^2-3x
x^2-3x-54=0
(x-9)(x+6)=0
x=9, x=-6.
In this case, x must equal 9 since the base cannot be a negative number.
Final answer: Height=6 m
12.) First find the rate of miles/hour that the Morales family drove: 312 miles/6 hours = 52 miles/hour. To find how far they travel in 8 hours, multiply that rate by 8. 52 x 8 = 416. If they drive for 8 hours, they will travel 416 miles.
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
Sean and Greg share a 24-ounce bucket of clay
Sean uses 3/8 of the bucket
= 3/8 ×24
= 9 ounce
Greg uses 1/4 if the bucket
= 1/4 ×24
= 6 ounce
= 9+6
= 15 ounce
Therefore the quantity left in the bucket can be calculated as follows
= 24-15
= 9
Hence 9 ounces are left in the bucket
