Answer:

b= 4 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok. So the area of a triangle is base * height divided by 2.

So, the base is b and the height is 3b.

b*3b= 3b^2.

Now, divide that by 2.

(3b^2)/2.

Now, we know what the area is already- 24 in.^2. So, let's set the area expression that I found earlier equal to this area, since they're the same.

(3b^2)/2 = 24

3b^2 = 48

b^2 = 16

Ok. Let's stop here. Now, we square root both sides to obtain b, but we are presented with a problem here. B can equal both 4 and -4 right? Since -4*-4=16 and 4*4=16. However, it is impossible for a 2d shape to have negative measurements. So, the answer is 4.

Answer:

+4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

A= 1/2 x b x h

24=1/2 x b x 3b

b2=16

b=+4 or -4(N/A)

Answer:

11 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

let he works at first store x hours and at car wash y hours. Then

x+y=25

multiply by 4

4x+4y=100 ...(1)

12x+15y=333

divide by 3

4x+5y=111 ... (2)

(2)-(1) gives

y=111-100=11

A circle with a radius of 15.4 meters. Which statements are true about the circle shown? Check all that apply. The diameter of t

Dafna1 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

the diameter of a circle is simply 2×radius.

2×15.4 = 30.8 m

the diameter is 30.8 m is true.

the circumference of a circle is

2×pi×radius

2×pi×15.4 = 30.8×pi m

the circumference is 30.8pi m is true.

therefore, the circumference can be found using

2(pi)(15.4)

is true.

now, doing the pi multiplication :

30.8 × pi = 96.76105373... m

the approximate circumference is 96.7 m is true.

6 diameters would be

30.8×6 = 184.8 m

that is much longer than the circumference.

so, more than 6 diameters could be wrapped around the circle is false, if we understand it that this is supposed to wrap the circle once without any overhanging remainder.
