Hey user!

your answer is here..

ATQ,

the length of the base of the triangle is twice it's height.

let the height of the triangle be x.

therefore base of the triangle is 2x.

given area of the triangle = 196km²

==> 1/2 × b × h = 196km²

==> 1/2 × 2x × x = 196km²

==> x × x = 196km²

==> x² = 196km²

==> x = √196

==> x = 14

hence, height of the triangle = x = 14km

base of the triangle = 2x = 2 × 14 = 28km

VERIFICATION :-

area of the triangle = 1/2 × b × h

= 1/2 × 14 × 28

= 7 × 28

= 196km²

hence verified..

cheers!!

Area = 1/2 x base x height

Let the height be x.
Height = x
Base = 2x

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x  heght

Plug base and height into the variables:
(1/2)(2x)(x) = 196

Combine like terms:
x² = 196

Square root both sides:
x = 14

Find Base and height:
Base = x = 14 km
Height = 2x = 2(14) = 28 km

Answer: Height = 28km

Vikki [24]
Cost of the total miles travelled
= $191.24 - $17.99
= $173.25

Miles travelled
= $173.25 ÷ 0.75
= 129.9375 miles
≈ 130 miles (3s.f)

CRITICAL THINKING A local zoo employs 36 people to take care of the animals each day. At most, 24 of the employees work full tim
k0ka [10]

We assume all employees are either full-time or part-time.

36 = 24 + 12

If the number of full-time employees is 24 or less, the number of part-time employees must be 12 or more. (Thinking, based on knowledge of sums.)

_____

You can write the inequality in two stages.

  1. First, write and solve an equation for the number of full-time employees in terms of the number of part-time employees.
  2. Then apply the given constraint on full-time employees. This gives an inequality you can solve for the number of part-time employees.

Let f and p represent the numbers of full-time and part-time employees, respectively.

... f + p = 36 . . . . . . given

... f = 36 - p . . . . . . . subtract p. This is our expression for f in terms of p.

... f ≤ 24 . . . . . . . . . given

... (36 -p) ≤ 24 . . . . substitute for f. Here's your inequality in p.

... 36 - 24 ≤ p . . . . add p-24

... p ≥ 12 . . . . . . . . the solution to the inequality

Use cross multiplication to figure this out. (What does xy = )<br> .78x/7 = 19/4y
kap26 [50]

Answer:

xy = 42.6282051282...

Step-by-step explanation:

0.78x/7 = 19/4y

0.78x * 4y = 3.12xy

19 * 7 = 133

3.12xy = 133

3.12xy/3.12 = 133/3.12

xy = 42.6282051282...
