Fourths, then b. Sorry if late.
The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula
1/2 (base) (height)
Let's substitute our known values, letting x represent the value of the height of the triangle.
16 = 1/2* x* 2x
Let's Simplify!
16 = x^2
Finally, lets take the square root of both sides, to get rid of the exponent on the right side of the equation.
x= positive OR negative 4.
However, because x is equal to the height, we know that it can't be negative, so we know that it is positive 4.
The height of the triangle = 4 inches
The base of the triangle = 2h = 8 inches
Answer:
1092
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that the number of bacteria in the colony t minutes after the initial count modeled by the function 
. We are asked to find the average rate of change in the number of bacteria over the first 6 minutes of the experiment.
We will use average rate of change formula to solve our given problem.
Upon substituting our given values, we will get:
Therefore, the average rate of change in the number of bacteria is 1092 bacteria per minute.
Answer:
A) 150 m
B) 180.28 m
Step-by-step explanation:
A) In order to find the horizontal distance from the base of the cliff to the speed boat, use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of the missing side.
We are told that one of the sides is 80 m and the hypotenuse is 170 m. Therefore,
- a² + b² = c²
- (80)² + b² = (170)²
- b² = 170² - 80²
- b² = 22500
- b = 150
The horizontal distance between the base of the cliff and the boat is 150 m.
B) Now, the side that was 80 m is now 100 m (includes the height that the helicopter is above Jumbo). The horizontal distance remains the same, 150 m, but the hypotenuse is different. Solving for the hypotenuse will give us the distance between the helicopter and the speed boat.
- (100)² + (150)² = c²
- 32500 = c²
- 180.28 = c
The distance between the helicopter and the speed boat is 180.28 m.
