We can represent the base as z and the height as 2z+6. We are going to use the formula A=1/2*b*h and solve for z
180=1/2*z*(2z+6)
360=2z^2+6z
0=2z^2+6z-360
0=2(z^2+3z-180)
0=(z+15)(z-12)
So z=-15 and 12 but it must be positive so then the base is equal to 12
When we plug this into 2z+6 we get 30 for the height
2(12)+6=30
Hope this helps
Answer: D (5/2, -17/4)
Step-by-step explanation: Using elimination your goal is to get rid or 1 variable so you can solve for the one that's left. By adding the -2y and 2y you will get 0. You will also add the 3x+x (4x) and -1+11 (10). You have now gotten rid of the y and have 4x=10. By dividing each side by 4 we now know x =2.5. D is the only possible solution with x=2.5 (5/2) but to solve for y you plug 2.5 in to an equation as x so) x-2y=11
2.5-2y=11
-2y=8.5 Answer D (5/2,-17/4) y=-17/4 (4.25)
Answer:
41
Step-by-step explanation:
x+(x+70)+28=180
x+x+70+28=180
2x+70+28=180
2x+98=180
2x=180-98
2x=82
x=82/2
x=41
