4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 1/2 * 2b * (5b - 7)

Area = 1/2 * 2b * (5b - 7) = 24

b * (5b - 7) = 24

5b^2 - 7b = 24

5b^2 - 7b - 24= 0

(b- 3 )(5b + 8) = 0

b = 3                    This the only solution that works.  b can't be minus

The base is 2b or 2 * 3 = 6

Are 25 milligrams lighter or heavier than 25 centigrams
masya89 [10]

Answer:

<em>25 mg. is lighter than 25 cg.</em>

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Well,</em>

<em />

<em>The prefix "milli" means thousandth and the prefix "centi" means hundredth.  So a milligram will be one-tenth of a centigram.</em>

<em />

<em>10 mg. = 1 cg.</em>

<em>25 mg. = 2.5 cg.</em>

<em />

<em>2.5 cg. < 25 cg.</em>

<em />

<em>25 mg. is lighter than 25 cg.</em>
