The height of a triangle is 3cm less than twice the base. The area is 10cm2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kamila [148]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The base is 4cm and the height is 5cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a solve the system question. Call H the height of the triangle and B the base. The question tells us:

H=2B-3

and

\frac{B \times H}{2}=10

Sub the first equation into the second (as H is already isolated). You will end up with a quadratic equation - solve that any way you wish (e.g. quadratic formula). I've provided the factored form below which shows you the roots:

\frac{B(2B-3)}{2}=10\\\frac{2B^2-3B}{2}=10\\2B^2-3B=20\\2B^2-3B-20=0\\(2B+5)(B-4)=0\\B= - \frac{5}{2},4

In this question, we take B=4. You can't have a negative side length so the other answer is eliminated. Now sub the value for B into either of the original equations. I'll use the first, again because H is already isolated:

H=2(4)-3\\H=8-3\\H=5

The measure of an interor angle of a regular polygon is given. Find the number of sides in the polygon.
EleoNora [17]

Let side be n

#1

\\ \sf\longmapsto 120n=(n-2)180

\\ \sf\longmapsto 120n=180n-360

\\ \sf\longmapsto -60n=-360

\\ \sf\longmapsto n=6

#2

\\ \sf\longmapsto 160n=(n-2)180

\\ \sf\longmapsto 160n=180n-240

\\ \sf\longmapsto -20n=-240

\\ \sf\longmapsto n=12

#3

\\ \sf\longmapsto 144n=(n-2)180

\\ \sf\longmapsto 144n=180n-360

\\ \sf\longmapsto -36n=-360

\\ \sf\longmapsto n=10

After sitting in a refrigerator for a while, a turkey at a temperature of 34 degrees F is placed on the counter and slowly warms
Anton [14]

Answer:

  • k = 0.006
  • T = 48 °F

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial temperature difference of 72 -34 = 38 °F is reduced to a difference of 72 -41 = 31 °F after 35 minutes. The exponential term in the temperature expression could have the factor ...

  (31/38)^(t/35) = e^(-kt)

Taking the natural log, we find ...

  (t/35)ln(31/38) = -kt

  k = ln(38/31)/35 ≈ 0.00581711

To the nearest thousandth, this is ...

  k ≈ 0.006

Using this in the equation for temperature, we have ...

  T = 72 -38e^(-0.006t)

Filling in the desired value for t (80), we find the turkey temperature after 80 minutes to be about

  T = 72 -38e^(-.006×80) = 72 -38e^-.48 ≈ 48.49

  T ≈ 48 °F

The value of k is about 0.006, and the turkey temperature is about 48 °F.
