Answer:

17 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 1/2(base)(height)

the base is seven less than twice the height, so

b = 2h-7

try to substitute for one of the variables, because it is much easier to solve for them.

b = 2h-7

b+7 = 2h

(b+7)/2 = h

Area = 102

102 = 1/2(b)(b+7)/2

408 = (b)(b+7)

408 = b^2+7b

b^2+7b-408=0

(b+24)(b-17)=0

b = -24 or b = 17

since length can't be a negative number, the length of the base is 17 cm

Answer:

$5.03\frac{rad}{sec}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the angular velocity divide the revolutions by the time

$\frac{16}{20}=0.8\frac{rev}{sec}$

Remember that

$1\ rev=2\pi \ rad$

Convert rev/sec to rad/sec

$0.8\frac{rev}{sec}=0.8*(2\pi)=1.6 \pi\frac{rad}{sec}$

assume $\pi=3.1416$

$1.6(3.1416)=5.03\frac{rad}{sec}$
