The height of a triangle is 8 centimeters greater than half its base. The area of the triangle is 48 square centimeters what is
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

base = 8 cm

height = 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We will need the formula for area of a trianlge, which is

A = (1/2)bh    where b is the base, and h is the height

We are given two formulas...

"The height of a triangle is 8 centimeters greater than half its base" becomes

  h = (1/2)b + 8

"The area of the triangle is 48 square centimeters" becomes

48 = (1/2)bh

Plug the first formula into the second to solve for h

48 = (1/2)b[(1/2) + 8]             (h becomes (1/2)b + 8)

Now solve for b

48 = (1/4)b² + 4b

**This is a quadratic euquation.  Solve using factoring...

(1/4)b² + 4b - 48 = 0       (subtract 48 from both sides)

b² + 16b - 192  =  0       (multiply by 4 so b² is by itself, it's easier to factor this way)

Now factor...

(b + 24)(b - 8) = 0       (you need two numbers that add to 16 and multiply to -192)

Set each binomial equal to zero and solve for b

b + 24 = 0          

    b = -24    

**this anwser is not valid because b is a length, and you can't have negative length

b - 8 = 0

  b = 8        

Since the other solution is invalid, the base is b

If the base is b, then the height is...

h = (1/2)b + 8

 

   h = (1/2)(8) + 8

     h = 4 + 8

 

         h = 12

Solve these simultaneous equations:
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1) We have the system:

5*x - 3*y = 15

4*x + 3*y = 6

To solve this, we first need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, let's isolate x in the first equation:

x = 15/5 + (3/5)*y = 3 + (3/5)*y

Now we can replace this in the other equation to get:

4*( 3 + (3/5)*y) + 3*y = 6

and solve this for y.

12 + (12/5)*y  + 3*y = 6

(12/5 + 3)*y = 6 - 12 = -6

(12/5 + 15/5)*y = -6

(27/5)*y = -6

y = -6*(5/27) = 1.11

Now we can replace this in the equation:

x = 3 + (3/5)*y

To get the value of x.

x = 3 + (3/5)*1.11 = 3.67

Then the solution of this system is the point (3.67, 1.11)

2) Now we have the system:

2*x + 5*y = 26

4*x + 3*y = 24

The solution method is the same as before:

x = 26/2 - (5/2)*y = 13 - (5/2)*y

Now we replace this in the other equation:

4*( 13 - (5/2)*y) + 3*y = 24

52 - 10*y + 3*y = 24

52 - 7*y = 24

52 - 24 = 7*y

28 = 7*y

28/7 = y

4 = y

now we replace this in the equatio:

x = 13 - (5/2)*y

x = 13 - (5/2)*4 = 13 - 10 = 3

The solution of this sytem is (3, 4)

3) Now we have the system:

3*x + 3*y = 39

2*x - 3*y = -2

first we isolate x in the first equation:

x = 39/3 - 3*y/3 = 13 - y

Now we can replace this in the other equation:

2*(13 - y) - 3*y = -2

26 - 2*y - 3*y = -2

26 - 5*y = -2

26 + 2 = 5*y

28 = 5*y

28/5 = y = 5.6

Now we can replace this in the equation:

x = 13 - y

To get the x-value

x = 13 - 5.6 = 7.4

Then the solution for this system is (7.4, 5.6)

Need all these tomorrow!!!!! thank you all soooooOOOOOOooOoOOooOOoO much!!!!!
nordsb [41]
1.) 6% of 38 1% of 38 = 3.8 ( you just move the decimal placement over by one. 1% * 6 = 6% 3.8 * 6 = 6% 3.8 * 6 = 22.8 6% =22.8 2.) 5% of 90 90/5 = 5% 90/5 = 18 18 = 5% 3.) 15/5 = 9/x 15/5 = 3 3 = 9/x (nine divided by ? is three?....3!) 3 = 9/x(3) 3 = 9/3 3 = 3 x = 3 4.) 1/12 = .8/x Multiply each side by ten. 1/12 * 10 = 5/6 .8/x * 10 = 8/x 5/6 = 8/x Cross Multiply (switch the second numbers around) 5x = 6*8 Simplify 5x = 48 Divide both sides by 5 to get x by itself 5x/5 = x 48/5 = 9.6 *Whoo last problem lol* 5.) A three liter bottle costs $2.97 what is the unit rate. Well the unit is the object we're talking about, in this case a liter bottle. The unit rate is how much it costs or is per unit. Now that that's out of the way... 3L = 2.97 Like the other problems we want to get x by itself, so we'll divide by three) 3L/3 = L 2.97/3 = .99 L = .99 The Unit Rate is $0.99 per liter bottle. Hope this helped :)
