Answer: 10 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to solve a system of equations.
The formula to calculate a triangle area is A = (b.h)/2
where b is the base and h is the height. This will be our first equation.
Since the height is 4 inches greater than the base, the second equation will be: h = b+4
We replace h and the value of the area (70 square inches) in the first equation, and we solve it by using the cuadratic equation formula:
70 = (b . (b+4)) / 2
70 . 2 = b² + 4b
140 = b² +4b
0 = b² + 4b - 140
The roots of this polynomial are -14 and 10. Since a distance can't be negative, the length of the base is 10 inches.
The answer will be the last one as it equals 4x + 3. this means that the equation will be parallel and does not have a solution.
I am not completely positive but,
1/6 tons because 2/3 divided by 4 is 1/6 <span />
Answer:
There will be 916 ants alive after 4 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let's change the percentage to a decimal by dividing by a 100.
6.5% / 100 = .065
Step 2
So, for the first month we will multiply the initial amount of ants by .065 and this will give us the number of ants that die.
1200 * .065 = 78
This means that after the first month, 1200 - 78 = 1122 ants will be alive.
Step 3
Now for the second month: 1122 * .065 = 72.93 (rounded to 73)
1122 - 73 = 1049 ants will be alive
Step 4
For the third month 1049 * .065 = 68.185 (rounded to 68)
1049 - 68 = 981 ants will be alive
Step 5
For the fourth month 981 * .065 = 63.765 (rounded to 64)
981 - 64 = 916 ants will be alive
Hope this helps!
