Answer:

The height of the triangle is 7cm and the base is 16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we have to know the formula to calculate area of ​​a triangle

a = area = 56

b = base

h = heigth

a = (b * h)/2

we replace the known values and we make 2 equations

56cm² = (b * h)/2

b = h + 9cm

we replace b by (h + 9cm) in the first equation

56cm² = (h + 9cm * h)/2

56cm² * 2 = h² + 9h

0 = h² + 9h - 112cm²

we use bhaskara formula:

(-b (±) √ (b² - 4ac) ) / 2a

we replace with the known values

h = (-9 (±) √ (9² - 4*1*(-112) ) ) / 2*1

h = (-9 (±) √ (81 + 448) ) ) / 2

h = (-9 (±) √529) /2

h = (-9 (±) 23)/2

h1 = (-9 + 23) / 2

h1 = 14 / 2

h1 = 7

h2 = (-9 - 23) / 2

h2 = -32 / 2

h2 = -16

The height of the triangle is 7cm and the base is 16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The correct answer is:

B. Yes, there are at least 10 people with weak bones and 10 people with strong bones in each group.

Their selling price was 2.45 times the price they bought it. If they split the profit evenly and there was two of them, multiply their profit by two and divide that number by 800 to find how much more they sold it for, so they sold it for 245% more than they bought it

balu736 [363]

Answer:

I think its D)

Step-by-step explanation:

7x−3y+2=0

Add -7x to both sides.

7x−3y+2+−7x=0+−7x

−3y+2=−7x

Add -2 to both sides.

−3y+2+−2=−7x+−2

−3y=−7x−2

Divide both sides by -3.

−3y /−3  =  −7x−2 /−3

which equals d)
