Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a three sided polygon with three edges and three vertices

There are different types of triangles. They include :

  • Right angled triangle - one of the angles measure 90 degrees
  • equilateral triangle - all three sides of the triangle are equal
  • isosceles triangle - two sides of the triangle are equal

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x ( base x height)

1/2 x (6 x 8) = 24 ft²

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 2x+3y=-8 and passes through the point (2,-2)?
Leya [2.2K]

Equation of line passing through (2, -2) and parallel to 2x+3y = -8 is y=\frac{-2 x}{3}+\frac{-2}{3}

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Need to write equation of line parallel to 2x+3y=-8 and passes through the point (2, -2)

Generic slope intercept form of a line is given by y = mx + c

where "m" = slope of the line and "c" is the y - intercept

Let’s first find slope intercept form of 2x+3y=-8 to get slope of line

\begin{array}{l}{2 x+3 y=-8} \\\\ {=>y=\frac{-2 x-8}{3}} \\\\ {\Rightarrow y=-\frac{2}{3} x-\frac{8}{3}}\end{array}

On comparing above slope intercept form of given equation with generic slope intercept form y = mx + c,

\text {for line } 2 x+3 y=-8, \text { slope } m=-\frac{2}{3}

We know that slopes of parallel lines are always equal

So the slope of line passing through (2, -2) is also m=-\frac{2}{3}

Equation of line passing through (x_1 , y_1) and having slope of m is given by

\left(y-y_{1}\right)=\mathrm{m}\left(x-x_{1}\right)

\text { In our case } x_{1}=2 \text { and } y_{1}=-2

Substituting the values in equation of line we get

(y-(-2))=-\frac{2}{3}(x-2)

\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow y+2=\frac{-2 x+4}{3}} \\\\ {=>3(y+2)=-2 x+4} \\\\ {=>3 y+6=-2 x+4} \\\\ {3 y=-2 x-2}\end{array}

y=\frac{-2 x}{3}+\frac{-2}{3}

Hence equation of line passing through (2 , -2) and parallel to 2x + 3y = -8 is given as y=\frac{-2 x}{3}+\frac{-2}{3}

14 less than 8 times a number is 3 more than 4 times the number. What is the number? ​
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

x = 17/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number

8x-14 = 4x+3

Subtract 4x from each side

8x -14-4x = 4x+3-4x

4x-14 = 3

Add 14 to each side

4x-14+14 = 3+14

4x = 17

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 17/4

x = 17/4

You place $4,000.00 in a bank account with an interest rate of 5.25% APR and another $2,000.00 in an account with an interest ra
Mila [183]
First account
interest = 6/12 × 5.25% × 4,000
interest = 1/2 × 5.25/100 × 4,000
interest = 1/2 × 210
interest = 105 dollars

Second account
interest = 6/12 × 6% × 2,000
interest = 1/2 × 6/100 × 2,000
interest = 1/2 × 120
interest = 60 dollars

After 6 months, the first account will have earned more interest than the second account

An archeologist discovered two artifacts buried beneath the ground. She found the first artifact at an elevation of -8:2/7 meter
8090 [49]

Answer:

Option D is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are provided angle of elevations of two artifacts buried beneath the ground and we are asked to find distance between these two elevations.

We will find distance between these elevations by taking the difference of two.

35:\frac{4}{7}--8:\frac{2}{7}

35:\frac{4}{7}+8:\frac{2}{7}=43:\frac{6}{7}

Since we know that distance is always positive so option A is incorrect.

Therefore, option D is the correct choice and distance between these two elevations is 43:\frac{6}{7}.
