Answer:
Formula
A = 1/2 b * h
Substitute
Area = 60 in^2
b = x
h = 2x - 1
60= 1/2 * x * (2x - 1)
Solve
60 = 1/2 * x (2x - 1) Multiply by 2
60 * 2 = x(2x - 1)
120 = x (2x - 1) Remove the brackets.
120 = 2x^2 - x Subtract 120 from both sides.
2x^2 - x - 120 = 0 This factors.
(2x + 15)(x - 8) = 0
Solve for x
2x + 15 = 0
2x = - 15
x = -15/2
x = - 7.5 a negative measurement is useless. Discard this answer.
x - 8 = 0
x = 8
Area (Check)
base = 8
height = 16 - 1 = 15
Area = 1/2 * 8 * 15 = 60 as it should
Answer
Use Area = 1/2 * b * h to find the base and the height.Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
I honestly don't know umm try yes
Step-by-step explanation:
X = 5
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don’t contain the variable.
Using google translate:
When photocopying a credential, it is first enlarged to triple and subsequently the resulting copy is halved. What is the final effect on the original credential? If the credentials is a rectangle of 10 by 6 cm. What area will you have in the first photocopy? And in the second?
Original: 10 by 6 cm ; Area = length * width = 10 x 6 = 60 cm²
first copy: enlarged to triple
10 x 3 = 30
6 x 3 = 18
30 x 18 = 540 cm²
second copy: halved
30 x 1/2 = 15
18 x 1/2 = 9
15 x 9 = 135 cm²
