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

Answer:

Total length of the first swing=64 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of all four swings can be expressed as;

Total length of all 4 swings=Length of first swing+length of second swing+length of third swing+length of fourth swing

where;

Total length of all 4 swings=175 m

Length of first swing=x

Length of second swing=75% of length of first swing=(75/100)×x=0.75 x

Length of third swing=75% of length of second swing

Length of third swing=(75/100)×0.75 x=0.5625 x

Length of fourth swing=75% of length of third swing

Length of fourth swing=(75/100)×0.5625 x=0.421875 x

replacing;

Total length of all 4 swings

175=x+0.75 x+0.5625 x+0.421875 x

2.734375 x=175

x=175/2.734375

x=64

Total length of the first swing=x=64 m

Its a fraction division problem its 10over 8 divided by 1 over 6
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
In 10/8 divided by 1/6, you have to do the reciprocal of 1/6 and the dividing symbol... so now it should look like 10/8 times 6/1 . Then you just multiply! <span />
