Jasmine bought a pennant (triangle) of the favorite baseball team. If the base is 16 inches and height is 24 inches, how much ar
1 answer:
D. 192in^2
This would be a simple area problem with a triangle. REMEMBER THIS EQUATION: a=bh*1/2 (b for base and h for height, these are multiplied together then that answer is halved out.)
So we just need to plug in our values into the equation, so the equation would look like a= (16)*(24)*1/2. 16 times 24 would then give you 384, you could either divide by 2 or multiply by 0.5 to get the next answer, as long as your HALVING the answer.
So we have our bh value so now we can multiply by 1/2 which will give us 384*1/2 which leaves us with 192.
I have also attached a photo of doing a longer(ish) way than this, that also proves that this equation works. Either one will provide you an answer.

If line AB and BC are intersecting at point B and ray BD bisect the angle ABC, then the value of x is 23
The line AB and BC are intersecting at point B.
Ray BD bisect the angle ABC
∠ABD = x+8 degrees
∠ABD=∠DBC = x+8
Because the ray BD bisect the ∠ABC, so ∠ABD and ∠DBC will be equal
∠ABD+∠DBC= 4x-30 degrees
Because both are vertically opposite angles
Substitute the values in the equation
x+8 + x+8 = 4x-30
2x+16 = 4x-30
2x-4x = -30-16
-2x = -46
x = 23
Hence, if line AB and BC are intersecting at point B and ray BD bisect the angle ABC, then the value of x is 23
