Answer:

The base reduces at 3.75cm/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

h \to altitude

b \to base

A \to Area

So:

\frac{dh}{dt} = 1.5cm/min

\frac{dA}{dt} = 1.5^2cm/min

The area of a triangle is:

A = \frac{1}{2}bh

Calculate b when A =88cm^2; h =8cm

A = \frac{1}{2}bh

88=\frac{1}{2} * b * 8

88 =b * 4

Solve for b

b = 88/4

b = 22

We have:

A = \frac{1}{2}bh

Differentiate with respect to time

\frac{dA}{dt} =\frac{1}{2}(h\frac{db}{dt} + b\frac{dh}{dt})

Substitute the following values in the above equation

\frac{dh}{dt} = 1.5cm/min        \frac{dA}{dt} = 1.5^2cm/min      b = 22     h = 8

1.5 = \frac{1}{2}(8 * \frac{db}{dt} + 22 * 1.5)

Multiply both sides by 2

3 = 8 * \frac{db}{dt} + 22 * 1.5

3 = 8 * \frac{db}{dt} + 33

Collect like terms

8 * \frac{db}{dt} = 3 -33

8 * \frac{db}{dt} = -30

Divide both sides by 8

\frac{db}{dt} = -\frac{30}{8}

\frac{db}{dt} = -3.75

Write a decimal equation that has a product of 3.15... Do not use one as a factor
stepan [7]

Answer:

0.0315=3.15/100

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation needs to have a product of 3.15.

And the equation has to be a decimal equation. So we have o use numbers such as 10, 100...

0.0315=3.15/100

0.315=3.15/10

31.5=3.15\times 10

315=3.15\times 100

We can write as many equation as this.

What’s the answer to this?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

y=3/2x+0

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope intercept form formula is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept and since the slope is rise over run ( or rise/run just put it into fraction form) we count from the y intercept up until we can see the line reach a point where it touches a actual cross point ( in this case from the y intercept we see it goes up three) Then we count over how many to that cross point ( the full point, not just a random place on the chart) (in this case 2) and that creates 3/2. Now for the y intercept. Where does the line intercept the vertical line? That's your y intercept. In this case it's 0. Now you can see where we count up from three ( for the slope) and over two. Right onto that point. Hope this makes sense! If not look up Khan academy for some extra tutoring that is free.

Hope this helps! If so please mark brainliest and rate/heart if it did.

If LN = 12x + 16, what is the length of Line segment L N in units?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

LN = 64 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given M lies on LN, so LN = LM + MN --------------(1)

LN = 12x + 16

LM = 10x + 8

MN = 5x - 4

Substituting the values in equation 1, we get:

12x + 16 = (10x + 8) + (5x - 4)

12x + 16 = 15x + 4

15x - 12x = 16 -4

3x=12

Therefore x=4

LN= 12(4) + 16 = 64 units
