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

PLEASE HELP!!!!!! what is the purpose of arithmetic and geometric sequences?
goblinko [34]

Answer:

An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference between each term. ... A geometric sequence has a constant ratio (multiplier) between each term. An example is: 2,4,8,16,32,… So to find the next term in the sequence we would multiply the previous term by 2.

The equation of a circle centered at the origin is x^2+y^2=16. what is the radius of the circle?
vekshin1

Answer:

The center is (0,0) and the radius is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+y^2=16.

The equation of a circle can be written in the form

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2  where ( h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=4^2

The center is (0,0) and the radius is 4
