Answer:

Height = 10 m

Base = 27 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of a triangle is seven more than twice the height

The area of the triangle is 135 m²

Height = x

Base = 2x + 7

Area of a triangle = \frac{1}{2} × base × height

∴

\frac{1}{2} × (x) × (2x + 7) = 135

2x² + 7x - 270 = 0

Applying the quadratic formula we get;

x = 10 or -13.5

Since we can't have a length being negative, the height of this triangle is 10 m

The base = 2(10) + 7 = 27

Is 0.04 greater than 0.4
valentinak56 [21]
No 
0.04 is actually smaller than 0.4 because the four is in the hundredths place which is smaller than the four in the tenths place of 0.4

If six people decide to come to a basketball game, but three of them are only 2/5 sure that they will stay for the entire time (
exis [7]

Answer:

the probability that at the end, at least 5 people stayed the entire time = 0.352

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, 3 of the people are sure to stay the whole time. So, we'll deduct 3 from 6.which leaves us with 3 that are only 2/5 or 0.4 sure that they will stay the whole time.

Thus, what we need to compute to fulfill the probability that at the end, at least 5 people stayed the entire time of which we know 3 will stay, so for the remaining 3,we'll compute;

P[≥2] which is x~bin(3,0.4)

Thus;

P(≥2) = (C(3,2) x 0.4² x 0.6) + (C(3,3) x 0.4³)

P(≥2) = 0.288 + 0.064

P(≥2) = 0.352

For the line y = 2/5x, if the y-coordinate is 20, what is the x-coordinate? A. 5/2 B. 50 C. 125 D. 8
kykrilka [37]
Ok here is how you do this:
you need to replace y with 20 and then solve to find x, i.e. solve this equation
20=2/5x

1. Simplify 2/5x to 2x/5
   20=2x/5

2. Multiply both sides by 5
    20 * 5=2x

3. Simplify 20 * 5 to 100
    100=2x

4. Divide both sides by 2
   100/2=x

5. Simplify 100/2 to 50
     50=x

6. Switch sides
     x=50
so your answer is B. 50
I hope this helped!
