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

Since the shape is a square, it has 90° angles.

if cut in half, it creates a 45-45-90 triangle.
using this, you can use the ratio of 1:sqrt2 to find x. so the ratio would be x:6 to 1:sqrt2.

divide 6 by sqrt2 to find x, and then rationalize for it to become 6sqrt2/2, which would simplify even further to 3sqrt2

Y= (x-9) (x+3)
juin [17]

Answer:

y = x² − 6x − 27

Step-by-step explanation:

To distribute, you can use something called FOIL.  It stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last.

First, multiply the First term in each factor.

x · x = x²

Now multiply the Outer terms in each factor.

x · 3 = 3x

Next multiply the Inner terms in each factor.

-9 · x = -9x

Finally, multiply the Last terms in each factor.

-9 · 3 = -27

Add them all up:

x² + 3x − 9x − 27

x² − 6x − 27

1. How can a table be used to find the rate of change and the initial value? Describe the process.
rodikova [14]

Answer:

1. Pattern. 2. I don't know that one

Step-by-step explanation:

For finding the rate with a table all you do is look how far the numbers are jumping each time. Example: x: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 y: 2, 4 ,6 ,8 , 10

Both the x and y follow a pattern, though its not the same, its still a pattern

(The Constant rate of change for x is 2 as it goes up 2 every time and the constant rate of change for y is also 2 as it goes up by 2 every time
