Answer:
Area A = 12 = 1/2 × x × (5x-2)
5x^2 - 2x -24 = 0
Solution;
Base x = 2.4
Height h = 10 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
base of the triangle is x feet;
Base = x
The height of a triangle is 2 less than 5 times it's base;
Height = 5x - 2
the area of the triangle is 12 square feet;
Area A = 12 ft^2
The area of a triangle is;
Area A = 1/2 × base × height
Substituting the base and height;;
Area A = 1/2 × x × (5x-2)
Area A = 1/2 × (5x^2 - 2x)
Area A = 12
12 = 1/2 × (5x^2 - 2x)
Multiply through by 2.
24 = (5x^2 - 2x)
5x^2 - 2x -24 = 0
Solving the simultaneous equation;
x = 2.4 or -2
Since the base cannot be negative;
x = 2.4 ft
Height h = 5x -2 = 5(2.4) - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10 ft
Base x = 2.4
Height h = 10 ft
Answer:
(-2, -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
You can complete the square of the equation to get
y+(4/2)^2 = x^2+4x+(4/2)^2
y+4 = x^2 + 4x + 4
y+4 = (x+2)^2
y = (x+2)^2 - 4
This gives the form y = a(x-h)^2 + k where (h, k) is the vertex of the equation. You can also arrive at the same conclusion by making some observations of the equation. (x+2)^2 minimum value is going to be 0 since and negative values resulting from x+2 is going to become positive because of the square. So the minimum value is when x+2 is 0 or when x is equal to -2 and when it's at that minimum value of 0 it's going to have 4 subtracted from it which gives the vertex of (-2, -4)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
The way this is worded, it sounds like it is a horizontal distance. However by the marking it looks like they want the hypotenuse. Life can be very confusing sometimes.
The angle of the triangle that you need to know is the one on the right. The line of sight line is parallel to the base of the triangle. So the angle on the right is 8 degrees by the Z theorem.
Solution
Sin(8) = 1817 / x Multiply both sides by x
x*sin(8) = 1817 Divide by sin(8)
x = 1817/sin(8)
sin(8) = 0.1392
x = 1817/0.1392
x = 13055.7
Note
Watch how you do this. I would put it into your calculator as
1817
÷
sin(8)
=
If you use the rounded answer I gave for sin(8), you might get it wrong. This is a big distance and you should just use the exact number you get for sin(8).
