Formula for area of triangle:
A= 1/2 bh
Where b is the base and h is the height of the triangle.
Here, h= b-9
A=56 m^2
Put values in formula.
56= 1/2 (b) (b-9)
56=b(b-9)/2
Multiply both sides by 2.
112=b^2-9b
or
b^2-9b-112=0
Factorise the equation.
b^2-16b+7b-112=0
b(b-16)+7(b-16)=0
(b+7)(b-16)=0
Using zero factor theorem.
b+7=0 or b=-7
and
b-16=0 or b=16
Ignore the value b=-7, because length cannot be negative.
So length of base=16 m

Answer: Base=16m

What is a possible solution for x+6≥10
ira [324]

Answer:

4,5,6

Step-by-step explanation:

*The sign of ≥ means that it must be greater or equal to 10 in this case

1). 3 isn't a possible solution due to 9 being less than 10

3+6_10

9_10

9<10

2). 4 is a possible solution due to the sum of 4 and 6 being equal to 10

4+6_10

10_10

10=10

3). 5 is a possible solution due to the sum of 5 and 6 being larger than 10

5+6_10

11_10

11>10

4).6 is a possible solution due to the sum of 6 and 6 being larger than 10

6+6_10

12_10

12>10

Hope this helped! (:
