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

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

A line that passes through the point (x,y), with a y-intercept of b and a slope of m, can be represented by the equation y = mx + b.

If a line has the slope of -0.5, then m=-0.5 and the equation of the line is

y=-0.5x+b

This line passes throughthe point (10,1), then the coordinates of this point satisfy the equation of the line:

1=-0.5\cdot 10+b\\ \\1=-5+b\\ \\b=1+5\\ \\b=6

and the equation of the line is

y=-0.5x+6

Since b=6, the y-intercept of the line is 6.

mayflies can live at the bottom of lakes for 2 to 3 years before they become winged adults.Mayflies are between 4/10 inches and
Airida [17]

To simplify any fraction, look for a common factor in the top number
and the bottom number.  If you find one, divide the top and bottom
both by their common factor.  Eventually, you reach the point where
their only common factor is ' 1 ' ... that's when it's in simplest form.

4  and  10  both have  2  as a factor. 

When you divide top and bottom both by  2,  you have  2/5 .
This is the simplest form of  4/10 .

None of this has anything to do with mayflies.  You can use the same
process to simplify fractions in ANY situation where fractions arise.
