SSSSS [86.1K]3 years ago

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:  5 27  7  16

area = 1/2 bh

height of a triangle is 7 ft more than its base

base = b

height = b + 7

area = 30

area = 1/2 b(h)

30 = 1/2 b(b + 7)

30 = 0.5(b²+ 7b)

30 = 1/2 b²+ 3.5b           solve for b

1/2 b²+ 3.5b = 30        

1/2 b²+ 3.5b - 30 = 0        

b²+ 7b - 60 = 0            factor

   (b +12)(b - 5) = 0    when b = -12 or 5     base length can't be negative

b = base = 5

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×2(9)     = 9

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×5(12)     = 60

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×9(16)     = 56

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×12(19)     = 114

Lori wants to determine the average amount of time that students at her school spend on a computer each day there are 350 studen
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

2 students from each 15 classrooms

Step-by-step explanation:

"The number of boys and girls is approximately equal" is probably the most random sample, that is if the whole topic of the publication is Lorrie and her experimenting endeavors. If that is not the subject, then "Lorrie wants to determine the average amount of time that students at her school spend on the computer each day" is the most strange and random

Triangle JKL has vertices J(−2, 2) , K(−3, −4) , and L(1, −2) . Write the coordinate notation for a translation of 8 units right
Dovator [93]
Triangle JKL has vertices J(−2, 2) , K(−3, −4) , and L(1, −2) .

Rule: (x, y)→(x + 8, y + 1 )

J’ (-2, 2) → (-2 + 8, 2 + 1 ) → (6, 3 )
K’ (-3, -4) → (-3 + 8, -4 + 1 ) → (5, -3 )
L’ (1, -2) → (1 + 8, -2 + 1 ) → (9, -1)


J’ (6,3)
K’ (5,-3)
L’ (9,-1)


Hope this helps!
