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

Drag expressions into order to show a way to find 3 × 56.
lina2011 [118]
As we could "drag" these together, we could then do it the easy way.

  56
+56
+56
-------
168
------------------------

Or we could also do the following:

56*3:

6*3= 18.

Carry the one. 

5*3 = 15+1 (which was carried). = 16

(16+8) = 168

2/5 - 1/5
hram777 [196]
All the fractions that you are subtracting have the same denominator so you just subtract the numerator.2/5-1/5=1/5
3/8-2/8=1/8
79-3/9 since you can simplify 3/9 by 3 you get 1/3 you get 79/1-1/3.the common denominator is 3 so you multiply 79/1 by 3 and 1/3 by 1 and then you get 237/3-1/3 and you get 236/3. then you turn it from an improper fraction into a mixed number. 236 divided by and you get 78.6 repeating

It was Robin's birthday and she knew she was going to have a good day. She was driving to work, and when she turned on the radio
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

1.Random circumstance: Color of traffic light when Robin approaches the main intersection. Possible outcomes: Traffic light is green when Robin arrives, or Traffic light is not green when Robin arrives.

2.Random circumstance: Song on the radio when first turned on. Possible outcomes: Robin's favorite song is playing, or Robin's favorite song is not playing.

4.Random circumstance: Nearest available parking space. Possible outcomes: Robin finds an empty parking space in front of the building, or Robin does not find an empty parking space in front of the building.

Step-by-step explanation:

A random circumstance is one whose outcome cannot be predicted because we either do not have the full details of the matter or it has not been confirmed yet by a reliable source. In the short description of events provided above;

1.The color of the traffic light is unpredictable because it is not under the control of the drivers but is automated.

2. Robin's favorite song playing on the radio is a random circumstance because she has no control over what song is played. So, she might as well have tuned in and it would be her least favorite song playing.

3. Robin driving into the office and finding the parking space empty is a random circumstance because it is not predictable. She might have come in and found the entire space filled.
