Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base of the triangle be <em>b</em> and the height be <em>h</em>.

The sum of the base and height is 14. Thus:

b+h=14

Recall that the area of a triangle is given by:

\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{2}bh

From the first equation, solve for either variable:

h=14-b

Substitute:

\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{2}b(14-b)

Distribute:

\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{2}(14b-b^2)

Distribute:

\displaystyle A=-0.5b^2+7b

Let <em>b</em> = <em>x</em>. Hence:

A=-0.5x^2+7x

Therefore, our answer is B.

Answer:

her balance in August is $70

Step-by-step explanation:

First, calculate her balance after the deposit in June:

150 + 25

= 175

Then, calculate her balance after July's withdrawl:

175 - 105

= 70

So, her balance in August is $70

20 points<br> How do you convert mass to volume without density?
kherson [118]

Answer:

Well, you could always just put it onto a scale to find the mass. But assuming you aren't talking about a laboratory setting. sorry if its all werid i cant really put it into how it supposed to be

The general formula is:

ρ

=

m

V

where

ρ

is density in

g/mL

if mass

m

is in

g

and volume

V

is in

mL

.

So to get the mass...

m

=

ρ

V

Or to get the volume...

V

=

m

ρ

When you have the volume and not the density, and you want to find mass, you will need to find the density yourself. It's often readily available on the internet.

Just replace "[...]" with the object you want, and if it's not exactly what you need, consider it an estimate.

These days, you should be able to search for the density of any common object.

When you have the density and volume but not the mass, then just make up a mass.

You shouldn't need specific numbers to do a problem. You can always solve a problem in general and get a solution formula. If you need to, just make up some numbers that you know how to use.
