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.

On a mountain, the temperature decreases by 18°F every 5000 feet. What integer represents the change in temperature at 20,000 ft
attashe74 [19]
<span>To find this answer, use multiples. For every 5000 feet ascended, deduct 18 degrees. For 20,000 feet, which is (4 * 5000), use (4 * -18). In this case, the answer is -72 degrees F, so the integer described would be -72.</span>

The length of the rectangular tennis court at wimbledon is 6 feet longer than twice the width. if the court's perimeter is 240 f
KATRIN_1 [288]

Length (L): 2w + 6

width (w): w

Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w

               240 = 2(2w + 6) + 2(w)

               240 = 4w + 12 + 2w

               240 = 6w + 12

               228 = 6w

                 38 = w

Length (L): 2w + 6   = 2(38) + 6   = 76 + 6   = 82

Answer: width = 38 ft, length = 82 ft

Pls help me on this question :-
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

We conclude that the rule for the table in terms of x and y is:

  • y = 3x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

The table indicates that there is constant change in the x and y values, meaning the table represents the linear function the graph of which would be a straight line.

We know the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Taking two points

  • (-2, -4)
  • (-1, -1)

Finding the slope between (-2, -4) and (-1, -1)

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-2,\:-4\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-1,\:-1\right)

m=\frac{-1-\left(-4\right)}{-1-\left(-2\right)}

m=3

We know that the y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0 and finding the corresponding y-value.

Taking another point (0, 2) from the table.

It means at x = 0, y = 2.

Thus, the y-intercept b = 2

Using the slope-intercept form of the linear line function

y = mx+b

substituting m = 3 and b = 2

y = 3x+2

Therefore, we conclude that the rule for the table in terms of x and y is:

  • y = 3x+2
