Answer:

Not larger or smaller; the areas are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the formula for the area of a triangle of base b and height h is

A = (1/2)(b)(h).

In the first case, h = 3 ft and b = 2.5 ft.  This results in an area of 3.75 ft^2.

In the second case, h = 2.5 ft and b = 3 ft.  The area is the same:  3.75 ft^2.

This is because A = (1/2)(b)(h) has the same value regardless of the order in which b and h  are used as multipliers.

There is no difference in the areas of the two signs.  The areas are the same.

Describe the solution of g(x) shown in the graph.
Ugo [173]

Answer:

All real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The given graph is a maximum quadratic function.
  • The solution to the graph is where the graph intersects the x-axis.
  • We can see from the graph that, the function intersected the x-axis at two different points, hence its discriminant is greater than zero.
  • Hence the solution of g(x) are two distinct real solutions.
  • The solutions are not whole numbers because the x-intercepts are not exact.
  • The solutions are also not all points that lie on g(x)
  • The first choice is correct.

The length of a rectangle is 2/5 its width and the perimeter is 280 inches, what are the length and width of the rectangle?
bogdanovich [222]
If the length is 2/5, or .40, then:

280/.40= 700

Check my answer:

.40*700= 280

The length is .40 (or 2/5) the width is 700.

I hope this helped!
