Answer:

  • base: 2.18 m
  • height: 7.35 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the base of the triangle in meters. Then the height is ...

  h = 3 +2b

and the area is ...

  A = 1/2bh

  8 = 1/2(b)(3 +2b)

  16 = 3b +2b^2 . . . . . . . multiply by 2 and eliminate parentheses

  2(b^2 +3/2b + (9/16)) = 16 + 9/8 . . . . . . complete the square

  2(b +3/4)^2 = 17.125

  (b +3/4)^2 = 8.5625 . . . . . divide by 2

  b + 0.75 = √8.5625 ≈ 2.9262

  b = -0.75 +2.9262 = 2.1762

  h = 3 +2b = 7.3523

The base is about 2.18 meters and the height is about 7.35 meters.

Answer:

Kathy = J - 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Jo = 5 + Kathy

Jo = J

Kathy = K

=> J - 5 = 5 - 5 + K

=> J - 5 = K

=> K = J - 5

So, Kathy's height is J - 5 cm

Determine the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, 6) and (0, 4).
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Slope = rise/run = (change in y)/(change in x)
Slope = (4-6)/(0-(-4)) = (-2)/(4)
Slope = -1/2 = -0.5
