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

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:x^3+13x^2+3

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x^3+11x^2+5)-(x^3-2x^2+2)

Clearing brackets

2x^3+11x^2+5-x^3+2x^2-2

Collect like terms

2x^3-x^3+11x^2+2x^2+5-2

x^3+13x^2+3

How many values are within two standard deviation of the mean
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

In statistics, the 68–95–99.7 rule, also known as the empirical rule, is a shorthand used to remember the percentage of values that lie within a band around the mean in a normal distribution with a width of two, four and six standard deviations, respectively; more accurately, 68.27%, 95.45% and 99.73% of the values lie ...
