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:

The correct way to set up the slope formula for the line that passes through points (5 , 0) and (6 , -6) is $\frac{-6-0}{6-5}$ ⇒ C

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the slope of a line passes through points $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$

is $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

∵ The line passes through points (5 , 0) and (6 , -6)

∴ $x_{1}$ = 5 and $x_{2}$ = 6

∴ $y_{1}$ = 0 and $y_{2}$ = -6

Substitute these values in the formula of the slope

∵ $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

∴ $m=\frac{-6-0}{6-5}$

Let us look to the answer and find the same formula

The answer is:

The correct way to set up the slope formula for the line that passes through points (5 , 0) and (6 , -6) is $\frac{-6-0}{6-5}$

What is the experimental probability a quarterback will complete his next pass if he has completed 30 of his last 40 passes?

Elden [556K]

Answer:

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the quarterback has completed 30 of 40 passes. This means that the ratio of completed passes to total passes is 30:40. Converting this to a fraction, we get 30/40, which can be simplified to 3/4. 3/4 as a percentage is 75%. Therefore, the final answer is 75%.
