Answer: 16 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem you can find the height of the mast.

The formula is;

a² + b² = c²

a is one side of the triangle such as the width

b is another side such as the height

c is the hypotenuse which is the longest side.

c will therefore be 20m.

a will be 12m

12² + b² = 20²

b² = 400 - 144

b² = 256

b = √256

b = 16m

Rashid [163]

Answer:$6250

Step-by-step explanation:

selling price(sp)=12000

Divide both sides by 2

12500/2=(2 x op)/2

6250=op

Therefore original price is $6250

Use the area of the rectangle to find the area of the triangle
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The area of the Triangle is 1/2 the area of the Rectangle

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ignore the area of the rectangle for the moment, just so you can get the answer.

Area Triangle = 1/2 * b * h

Area Triangle = 1/2 * 8 * 4

Area Triangle = 1/2 32

Area Triangle = 16 square feet.

The area of the rectangle = L * W

L = 8

W = 4

Area of the rectangle = 8*4 = 32
