Area of triangle = 0.5 base height

24 = 0.5 x 6 height

height = 8 inches

Answer: 8inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to know the formula for the area of a triangle

A = (1/2)bh

Where

b = base

h = height

That's half of the base multiplied by the height

Are now we make the height the subject of formula since that's what we are looking for

Multiply both sides by 2

2A = 2((1/2)bh) =bh

divided both sides by b

2A/b = h

h = 2A/b

So we both the value of the A and b in the equation

h = 2(24)/6 = 2(4) = 8inches

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the remainder is the portion of the dividend that is not evenly divisible by the divisor. Basically, it is what's left over. In this case, -2 is the amount left over after dividing this equation.

Answer:

.31 g / mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Density = mass / volume

Sample 3

mass = 7 1/4 = 7.25

Volume 23.1

Density = 7.25/ 23.1 = .313852814

To the nearest hundredth

.31 g / mL

The answer to your question is:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.-

$\frac{1 + sin\alpha }{cos\alpha } + \frac{cos\alpha }{1 + sin\alpha } = 2 sec\alpha$

$\frac{(1 + sin\alpha)^{2} + cos^{2} \alpha }{cos\alpha (1 + sin\alpha) }$

$\frac{1 + 2sin\alpha + sin^{2} \alpha+ cos^{2} \alpha }{cos\alpha + sin\alphacos\alpha }$

$\frac{2 + 2sin\alpha }{cos\alpha+ sin\alpha cos\alpha }$

$\frac{2(1 + sin\alpha) }{cos\alpha(1 + sin\alpha ) }$

$\frac{2}{cos\alpha }$

2sec $\alpha$

2.-

sec²x - tanxsecx

$\frac{1}{cos^{2}x } - \frac{sinx}{cosx} \frac{1}{cosx}$

$\frac{1}{cos^{2} x} - \frac{sinx}{cos^{2}x}$

$\frac{1 - sinx}{cos^{2}x }$

$\frac{1 - sinx}{1 - sin^{2}x }$

$\frac{1 - sinx}{(1 - sinx)(1 + sinx)}$

$\frac{1}{1 + sinx}$
