Answer:
Area A = 12 = 1/2 × x × (5x-2)
5x^2 - 2x -24 = 0
Solution;
Base x = 2.4
Height h = 10 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
base of the triangle is x feet;
Base = x
The height of a triangle is 2 less than 5 times it's base;
Height = 5x - 2
the area of the triangle is 12 square feet;
Area A = 12 ft^2
The area of a triangle is;
Area A = 1/2 × base × height
Substituting the base and height;;
Area A = 1/2 × x × (5x-2)
Area A = 1/2 × (5x^2 - 2x)
Area A = 12
12 = 1/2 × (5x^2 - 2x)
Multiply through by 2.
24 = (5x^2 - 2x)
5x^2 - 2x -24 = 0
Solving the simultaneous equation;
x = 2.4 or -2
Since the base cannot be negative;
x = 2.4 ft
Height h = 5x -2 = 5(2.4) - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10 ft
Base x = 2.4
Height h = 10 ft

In this problem, we know that Harry saved $100 each week for 8 weeks. In other words, he saved a total amount of money:

We know that he earned $48 on his savings of $800, so for every $100 the interest (I) he earns is:

So, in conclusion Harry did earn $6 in interest for every $100
First term [ a ] = 6.3
Common difference [ d ] = 8.8 - 6.3 = 2.5
Using general term formula,

78.8 = 6.3 + (n-1)*2.5
2.5*(n-1) = 72.5 [ Dividing both sides by 2.5 ]
n-1 = 29
n = 30
Hence, 78.8 is the
30th term in the arithmetic series.
The answer would be 226.2442.
