Answer: H=12 and B=8

Looking at the problem, you are given the area, <em>a</em> , and told the h is 4 meters longer than <em>b; </em>in other words, <em>h</em>=<em>b</em>+4.

Since <em>a=</em>1/2<em>bh</em>, you can replace <em>a</em> with 48. Also, since <em>h</em> is <em>b</em>+4, you can replace that as well. You'd end up with this equation:

48=1/2b(b+4)

1. Seeing that 48 is 1/2 of <em>b,</em> you know that you have twice the value of 48, or 96. So, you can put that 96=<em>b(b+4). </em>

2.<em> </em>Now, thinking through factors of 96-  1 x 96, 2 x 48, 3 x 32, 4 x 24, 6 x 16, or 8 x 12, the only pair in which <em>h </em>is b+4 is 12 x 8.

Hope this helps,

Answer:

<h3>Step-by-step explanation: for #2, look at 6 3/4 and make it into a decimal. Do the same to 7 1/2. Compare them both to see which one is shorter by subtracting 6 3/4 from 7 1/2 and when you get your answer for that, make that into a fraction. Predict that 6 3/4 is shorter because of how much less it is compared to 7 1/2.  (I hope I helped you in some way. Good luck!)</h3>
