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

Show work to triangles 2 and 3 explaining why they are right triangles
olganol [36]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for a triangle to be a right triangle, it has to fit into Pythagorean's Theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2 where c is the hypotenuse.

We need to figure out which is the longest side in each of those triangles and that is the hypotenuse.

In the first set, the sqrt of 443 is 21.04, but that is not the longest side; 24 is. So the Theorem formula for that is:

\sqrt{443}^2+17^2=24^2 which gives us

443 + 289 = 576, but 732 does not equal 576, so that one is not right.

In the second set, the sqrt of 725 is the longest side, so that formula is:

\sqrt{725}^2=14^2+23^2 which gives us

725 = 196 + 529, and 725 does equal 725, so that one is right.

In the third set, the sqrt of 890 is the longest side, so:

\sqrt{890}^2=19^2+23^2, which gives us

890 = 361 + 529, and 890 = 890, so that is a right triangle as well. That's how you know those are right, compared to the first one that is not.

Mary stated that 2.01 x 10⁶ is less than 4.8 x 10⁴ because 2.01 is less than 4.8. what was mary's mistake ?
katrin [286]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is always written as a number between 1 and 9.9999999 repeating. There follows a power of 10. I'm not sure which answer would help you see it clearer but

4.8 * 10^4 the decimal is shifted 4 places the right which is 48000 where you have no numbers, you use zeros.

2.01 * 10^6 means that you shift the decimal 6 places to the right.

2010000

So 2 million is larger than 48 thousand.

The other way to do it is just to look at the power. 6 is more than 4. 6 describes the number of places you move. So does 4. 6>4 so that's the larger number.

A smaller square is cut from a square board. The smaller square has a side length of approximately 14 feet. What is the approxim
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

204

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the inner square. 14 x 14 = 196

Then find the area of the outer square. 20 x 20 = 400

Subtract 400 - 196 = 204

204 is closest to 200
