Let the base be b. Then the height is b-4. So:
1/2(b)(b-4)=6
b²-4b-12=0
(b-6)(b+2)=0
b=6
b-4=2

Somebody please help with this problem

Mrrafil [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that AE=BE and $\angle1\cong \angle2$ .

We can see that angle CEA is vertical angle of angle DEB, therefore, $m\angle CEA=m\angle DEB$ as vertical angles are congruent.

We can see in triangles CEA and DEF that two angles and included sides are congruent.

$\angle 1\cong \angle 2$

$AE=BE$

$\angle CEA\cong\angle DEB$ or $\angle 3\cong \angle 4$

Therefore, $\Delta CEA\cong \Delta DEB$ by ASA postulate.

Since corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent, therefore CE must be congruent to DE.

write an equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point (-8,-2) and had a slope of m=5

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

5x - y + 38 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

solution:

slope(m) = 5

(x1 , y1) = (-8 , -2)

we know that,

(y - y1) = m(x -x1)

or, (y - -2) = 5(x - -8)

or, y+2 = 5(x + 8)

or, y+2 = 5x +40

or, 5x - y + 38 = 0 is the required equation
