Answer:
height = 14.2 m , base = 7.1 m
Step-by-step explanation:
let the base be b then height h = 2b
The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as
A = bh
Here A = 50 , then
× b × 2b = 50
b² = 50 ( take square root of both sides )
b = ≈ 7.1 ( to the nearest tenth )
Then base = 7.1 m and height = 2 × 7.1 = 14.2 m
Let's assume
number of birds with 2 wings is x
number of birds with 4 wings is y
A nature museum has 2008 specimens of early birds
so,
Total of wings of 2 wings bird =2x
Total of wings of 4 wings bird =4y
The specimens have a total of 4384 wings
so, we get
we can divide both sides by 2
so, we get system of equations as
we can solve for x and y
We can subtract both equations
so,
number of birds with 2 wings is 1824
number of birds with 4 wings is 184.............Answer
