Answer:

  increasing 7/24 ft per week

Step-by-step explanation:

An expression for the length of the base can be written from the Pythagorean theorem relation between the sides of the triangle.

If the height is 7-x, where x is the number of weeks after the height is 7 feet, then the base length is ...

  b = √(25^2 -(7-x)^2) = √(625 -(49 -14x +x^2)) = √(-x^2 +14x +576)

Then the rate of change of b with respect to x is ...

  b' = (-2x +14)/(2√(-x^2 +14x +576))

When x=0, the rate of change of the base is ...

  b' = 14/(2√576) = 7/24

The base is increasing 7/24 ft per week when the height is 7 ft.

How can i find the area of this triangle?
Ivanshal [37]
To find the area of a triangle, multiply the base by the height, and then divide by 2. The division by 2 comes from the fact that a parallelogram can be divided into 2 triangles. For example, in the diagram to the left, the area of each triangle is equal to one-half the area of the parallelogram.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

150/250

Step-by-step explanation:

24/42, 75/135, 150/250, and 75/150 I believe is what you're asking. We know 75/135 is better than 75/150 so 75/150 is out of the equation. If we multiple 75/135 by 2 we get 150/270 which is more than 150/250, so 75/135 is out of the equation. Now to compare 24/42 and 150/250 we can divide their fractions, if we divide 24/42 we get 0.57, so 57%. If we did 150/250 we get 0.6 or 60%. So 150/250 is the best score.
