This triangle has base 16 therefore the sides must be 17cm and 17 cm

When we make a altitude it divides it into two right triangles and there is a property in which the altitude of the isoceles triangle divides the base in 2 equal halves

So the side of the right triangle will be x , 8 , 17

Using pythgoreus theorem

x²+8²=17²

x = √225

x = 15

So the altitude is 15 cm

If a cow has a mass of 9 × 10^2
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

a) The blue whale has about 200 times more mass

Step-by-step explanation:

(blue whale mass)/(cow mass) = (1.8×10^5 kg)/(9×10^2 kg)

... = (1.8/9)×10^(5-2)

... = 0.2×10^3

... = 200

The blue whale has about 200 times as much mass as a cow.

Help me with this question <br>I will mark brainlist <br>no web link <br><br>Solve :-<br>9n²-64=0​
Archy [21]
Factorize

(3n + 8) (3n - 8) = 0
3n + 8 = 0 and 3n - 8 = 0

Solve both for n

3n + 8 = 0
3n = -8
n = -8/3


3n - 8 = 0
3n = 8
n = 8/3

Therefore n = -8/3 and n = 8/3

A rectangular gasoline tank can hold 49.0 kg of gasoline when full. what is the depth of the tank (in m) if it is 0.400 m wide b
Arturiano [62]
We know that

<span>ρ = density of gasoline = 737 kg/m³ (at T = 60°F = 15.6°C)
</span>ρ = m/V
ρV = m
V = m/ρ
V = 49.0 kg / 737 kg/m³
<span>V = 0.066 m³ 

[volume of the tank]=L*W*H-----> H=volume/[L*W]----> H=0.066/(0.9*0.4)
H=0.1833 m

the answer is
t</span><span>he depth of the tank is 0.18 m</span>
