Answer:
5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
We khow that the altitude of this triangle is 1cm shorter than the base
- Let H be our altitude and B our base and A the area of the triangle
- A= (B*H)/2 ⇒ 15=(B*H)/2
- H is 1cm shorter than B ⇒ B=H+1
- H*(H+1)/2=15 ⇒ H*(H+1)=30⇒ H²+H=30⇒H²+H-30+0
that's a quadratic equation . Let's calculate the dicriminant .
Let Δ be the dicriminant
- a=1
- b=1
- c= -30
- Δ=b²-4*a*c = 1²-4*1*(-30)=1+4*30=121≥0
- Δ≥0⇔ that we have two solutions x and y
- x= (-1-
)/2= (-1-11)/2= -6 - y= (-1+
)/2= 10/2 = 5
We have a negative value and a positive one
The altitude is a distance so it can't be negative
H= 5cm

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
45, 60, 75
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the angles are 6:8:10
Multiply by x to get the angle measures
6x, 8x,10x
We know the sum of the angles is 180 for a triangle
6x+8x+10x = 180
Combine like terms
24x = 180
Divide each side by 24
24x/24 = 180/24
x =7.5
Each angle is
6x = 6(7.5) =45
8x = 8(7.5) =60
10x = 10*7.5 = 75
