Let x=height. then base is x+4. plug what we know into the formula for the area of a triangle
A=½bh
16=½*(x+4)*(x)
32=x²+4x
x²+4x-32=0
(x+8)(x-4)=0
so x can be-8 our 4. when we plug-8 in for x we get a negative height. since a triangle cannot have a negative side length we discard-8 and try 4. height=4 and base=8
Use the formula to help Sa(lw)+(Hw)+(Lh)
The Greatest Common Factor of 32 and 48 is 16.
First, get the factors of both numbers:
Factors of 32: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
Factors of 48: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48
The common factors are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
Among the common factors, the GCF is 16.
I believe the answer is Diane brought 4 pounds of coffee.
