A triangle has an area of 360 square feet. The height is 36 feet. What is the length of the base (in feet)?

Mathematics

garik1379 [7]3 years ago
5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of base = 20cm

We will take the base as "b"

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

So the total area = 360 square feet

360 square feet = 1/2 x b x 36

360 = 36b /2

360 = 18b

b = 360/18

b = 20

So, Length of base = 20 cm

Let's check:

1/2 x 20 x 36 = 360

Which is the correct area!

Hope this helps!

<h3>Answer:  39</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

You can use the nCr formula shown below

_n C _r = \frac{n!}{r!*(n-r)!}

where n = 39 and r = 1. However, you could also use the identity

_n C _{1} = n

which basically says there are n ways to pick 1 item if you are given a choice of n items. In this specific case, we have 39 items total, and there are 39 ways to pick one item.

MATH HELP!!!!!<br><br> If y = 15 when x = 2, what is the value of x when y = 7?
Ede4ka [16]

<u>Direct Variation:</u>  \frac{y}{x} = k

\frac{15}{2} = k

when y = 7:      \frac{7}{x} = \frac{15}{2}

14 = 15x

\frac{14}{15} = x

<u>Inverse variation:</u>   y*x = k

15 * 2 = k

30 = k

when y = 7:      7 * x = 30

x = \frac{30}{7}

A’s DJ service charges a $200 setup fee and $75 an hour after that.
Bogdan [553]

The total cost includes the setup cost + per hour cost.

Let, x represents the time and y represents the total cost.

y=200+75x .... (1)

Let Y represent the cost for B's DJ service.

y=125x .... (2)

a. Graphing both the equations give the intersection point (solution) as (4,500)

It means for 4 hours, the total cost of both the DJ's is same at $500.

b. Substitution Method.

Plug y = 125x in equation (1)

125x= 200+75x

125x-75x=200

50x=200

x=4

y=125\times 4 =500

Hence, the total cost for 4 hours in both the service is $500.

c. Addition method.

Multiply equation (2) by -1

-y = -125x.... Equation (3).

Add euation (1) and equation (3)

y+(-y) = 200+75x-125x

0=200-50x

50x=200, x=4

y=500

Solution: For x = 4, y = 500 ( same as the previous two methods)

For x = 2, equation (1)

y=200+(75\times 2) = 350

For x = 2, equation (2)

y= 125\times 2 =250

Hence, for 2 hours, DJ B would be a better choice since it would charge $250.

For x = 6 hours, equation (1)

y=200+(75\times 6) =650

For x= 6, equation (2)

y=125\times 6=750

For 6 hours, DJ A would be  better option since it charges $650 for 6 hours.
