Answer:

Height = 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = $36\frac{4}{5}$ square units

= $\frac{184}{5}$ square units

Height of the triangle = $9\frac{1}{5}$ units

= $\frac{46}{5}$ units

Formula to calculate the area of a triangle is,

Area = $\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})$

$\frac{184}{5}= \frac{1}{2}\times (\frac{46}{5})\times (\text{Height})$

$\frac{184}{5}= (\frac{46}{10})\times (\text{Height})$

Height = $\frac{184}{5}\times \frac{10}{46}$

= $\frac{368}{46}$

= 8 units

Therefore, height of the given triangle is 8 units.

Jessica has an account with a credit union. Her account earns 2.4% simple interest yearly. Exactly a year and a half ago, she op

Dafna1 [17]

The basic equation for interest is the investment amount(x) times the time in years(y) times the percent of interest(z).

That makes the equation:

x·y·z= amount with interest.

Lets plug in the numbers:

$900 x 1.5 x 2.4%

Now turn the percent into a decimal:

2.4% ----> .024

Now the equation is:

$900 x 1.5 x .024

Now do the math:

$900 x 1.5 = 1350
1350 x .024 = 32.4
1350 + 32.4 = 1382.4

The final answer is $1382.40

Hope this helps!

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (-4,10) and a directrix of y=-4 write the equation of the parabola in any form

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

$(x+4)^2=28(y-3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The directrix of the parabola is the horizontal line with the eqaution $y=-4.$ The focus of the parabola is at point (-4,10), than the axis of symmetry of the parabola is the perpendicular line to the directrix passing through the focus. Its equation is $x=-4$

The distance between the directrix and the focus is $|10-(-4)|=14,$ so $p=14$ and the vertex is at point $\left(-4,10-\dfrac{14}{2}\right)\rightarrow (-4,3)$

Parabola goes in positive y-direction, hence its equation is

$(x-x_0)^2=2p(y-y_0),$

where $(x_0,y_0)$ is the vertex, so the equation of this parabola is

$(x+4)^2=28(y-3)$
