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

You are saving money for a new phone. You must have at least $800 saved up in
NeX [460]

Let number of hours needed to work = x

Multiply number of hours by rate: 15x

Add what you already have saved:

15x + 215

This needs to equal at least 800:

The equation becomes:

15x + 215 >= 800

Solve for x:

15x + 215 >= 800

Subtract 215 from both sides

15x >= 585

Divide both sides by 15

X >= 39

They have to work at least 39 hours.

Solve for x.<br> A) -7<br> C) 6<br> B) 9<br> D) 10
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment BC  joining the midpoints of 2 sides of the triangle is

Half the length of the third side, that is

x + 31 = 2(x + 19)

x + 31 = 2x + 38 ( subtract x from both sides )

31 = x + 38 ( subtract 38 from both sides )

- 7 = x → A

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim drank 2 and 4/5 orange juice

2and 4/5=14/5 orange juice

jack drank  1and 1/10 less than Jim= 11/10 less than Jim

I introduce the whole numbers into the fractions

we will convert the number 14/5 into a fraction that has the denominator 10, by multiplying by 2 both numerator and denominator

(14/5 )*2=28/10

Now we can find out how much juine Jack drank

28/10- 11/10= 17/10

so Jack drank 17/10 orange juice , the fraction can be written also as

1 and 7/10
