The area of a triangle is hb/2, we are told the base but not the side lengths. The side length can be found using the pythagorean theorem.
s^2=(b/2)^2+h^2
The height can be found from the area because:
A=bh/2 so
h=2A/b then our pythagorean identity becomes:
s^2=(b/2)^2+(2A/b)^2
s^2=b^2/4+4A^2/b^2 or a little more neatly
s^2=(b^4+15A^2)/(4b^2), we were told A=150 and b=12 so
s^2=358236/576
s=√(358236/576) ft
s≈24.939 to nearest thousandth (which means that they actually rounded wrong because that's...
s≈24.9 to nearest tenth (they must have made earlier rounding somewhere in the earlier calculations, that's why you use symbols until the final calculation :P)
Anyway, they rounded to 25.0
Rate of change is equal to change in y over change in x. 4250-2850=1400.
1882-1880=2. 1400/2=700. Prices are decreasing at a rate of $700 per year from 1880 to 1882.
Answer:
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 5 = 4x + 9
3x - 4x = 9 - 5
-x = 4
x = -4
(7.2 × 10^7) ÷ (9 × 10^4)
= (7.2 / 9) x 10^(7 - 4)
= 0.8 x 10^3
= 8 x 10^2
Answer
C. 8 × 10^2
