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

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The answer SHOULD be 7/8=224/x;256 pounds.

You may have made a mistake in inputting it here on Brainly. So look for the one that matches that.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what we know:

Jasper = 224 pounds

Balin = x

Jasper = 7/8 of x

Now we make an equation for that:

(\dfrac{7}{8})(x) = 224pounds

To match the selections we will isolate 7/8 on one side of the equation:

\dfrac{7}{8}=\dfrac{224}{x}

Using ratio and proportion we can solve for what x is. Multiply 224 by 8 and divide it by 7. Or you can do it this way too:

\dfrac{7}{8}=\dfrac{224}{x}

(7)(x)=(224pounds)(8)

7x=1792pounds

x=\dfrac{1792pounds}{7}=256pounds

So x = 256 pounds

jeyben [28]

Since the photo booth charges a $500 fee for two hours at the party and an additional 50 dollars per hour, we have:

50x+500=C

Where x is the hours stayed and C is the total cost. Since Cindy doesn't want to spend more than 700 dollars, we have:

50x+500=700 \implies\\ 50x=200\implies\\ x=4

So she spent an additional 4 hours on the rental.
