Answer:
9ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar, the corresponding sides are proportional.
Let the height of the flag pole be x feet.
We multiply both sides by 6 to get:
We reduce the fraction to get:
We now simplify
Answer:
1536² mm
Step-by-step explanation:
16 x 16 = 256
256 x 6 = 1536 (6 = number of faces)
1536²mm
If the new technology innovation improves the production by 10%, they are increasing the amount of cars made by 10%.
Originally, 120 cars were made per day.
10% of 120 is 12.
Since the amount of cars made per day was increased by 12, we can add 12 to 120 to get 132 cars made per day (as the new unit rate).
The question asks how many cars can be produced in 5 days (after the car production increase). We can get the answer by multiplying our new daily amount of cars by 5: 132 times 5.
132 times 5 = 660
So, 660 cars can be produced in the factory in 5 days.
Recall that A = 1/2bh.
We are given that h = 4+2b
So, putting it all together:
168 = 1/2 b(4+2b)
168 = 1/2(4b + 2b^2)
168 = 2b + b^2
b^2 + 2b - 168 = 0.
Something that multiplies to -168 and adds to 2? There's a trick to this.
Notice 13^2 = 169. So, it's more than likely in the middle of the two numbers we're trying to find. So let's try 12 and 14. Yep. 12 x 14 = 168. So this factors into (b+14)(b-12) So b = -14 or b =12. Is it possible to have a negative length on a base? No. So 12 must be our answer.
Let's check this. If 12 is our base, then according to our problem, 2*12 + 4 would be our height... or 28. so what is 12 * 28 /2?
196. Check.
Hope this helped!
