A carpenter is making a backyard deck. In the measurements, he has determined that he needs to make a support triangle with an a

rea 36m2. He knows that the base must be 1 less than 2 times the height. Find the equation that correctly shows the area of the triangle.
A. x(2x - 1) = 36
B. 1/2x(2x - 1) = 36
C. 1/2x(2x - 1) = 18
D. x(2x - 1) = 18

Answer:

Equation for area = 36 = [1/2]x[2x - 1]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of triangle = 36 m²

Length of base = 2(Height) - 1

Find:

Equation for area

Computation:

Assume;

Height = x

Area of triangle = (1/2)(b)(h)

36 = (1/2)[2(x) - 1][x]

36 = [1/2]x[2x - 1]

Equation for area = 36 = [1/2]x[2x - 1]

If you could travel 450 miles in 5.5 hours, then how far could you travel in 7 hours?​
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

I will use x as the distance traveled in 7 hours

450/5.5 = x/7.7 - set up proportion

5.5x = 3465 - cross products

5.5x/5.5 = 3465/5.5 - divide each side by 5.5

x = 630 - answer

hope this helps.

Which point is an x-intercept of the quadratic function f(x) = (x – 4)(x + 2)?
lozanna [386]

The quadratic equation is in factored form, which is f(x) = (x - a)(x - b), where a and b are the x-values for the x-intercepts.

The x-values for the x-intercepts are 4 and -2. We know that the y-value at any x-intercept must be 0 (otherwise it isn't an x-intercept).

Thus, either the points (4,0) or (-2,0) must be your answer (the question is only asking for one x-intercept).

One of the events at a swim meet is the 500 meter freestyle. Use conversion factors and dimensional analysis to determine the le
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

1) Distance in feet equals 1640.4 feet

2) Distance in miles equals 0.3107 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the basic conversion factors we know that

1 meter = 3.2808 feet

Thus by proportion we conclude that

500meters=500\times 3.2808feet\\\\\therefore 500meters=1640.4feet

Similarly using the basic conversion factors we know that

1 mile = 1609.34 meters

thus we conclude that 1 meter =\frac{1}{1609.34} miles

Hence by proportion 500 meters = 500\times \frac{1}{1609.34}=0.3107 miles
