Answer:
The base is 4cm and the height is 5cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a solve the system question. Call H the height of the triangle and B the base. The question tells us:
and
Sub the first equation into the second (as H is already isolated). You will end up with a quadratic equation - solve that any way you wish (e.g. quadratic formula). I've provided the factored form below which shows you the roots:
In this question, we take B=4. You can't have a negative side length so the other answer is eliminated. Now sub the value for B into either of the original equations. I'll use the first, again because H is already isolated:
Answer:
All of these terms are dollar amounts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, x + y = 10 (where these numerals represent counts)
(1/2)x + (1/4)y = 4 (where (1/2), (1/4) and 4 are dollar amounts)
Let's eliminate y. To accomplish this, mult. the 2nd eq'n by-4, obtaining
-2x - y = -16, and then combining this with the 1st equation, as follows:
-2x - y = -16
x + y = 10
-------------------
-x = -6, or x = 6. This represents the number of pens purchased by Terrance.
Subbing 6 for x in the first equation, we get y = 4. This represents the number of pencils he bought.
($0.50)x + ($0.25)y = $4.00 (dollar amounts)
Triangle JKL has a base that is 1 unit long
Triangle J'K'L' has a base that is 3 units long
3 units / 1 unit = 3
The scale factor is 3.
Answer:
13 4/5 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
You multiply 4 3/5 by 3, which equals 13.8, which equals 13 4/5 pounds.
37 to the nearest tenth is 40.
