Find the area of abc. round your answer to the nearest tenth. b=87, a = 10.1, c = 9.8

1 answer:

8 0

The area of the triangle can be calculated through the equation,
A = sqrt ((s)(s - a)(s - b)(s - c))
where A is area, s is the semiperimeter ((a + b + c)/2), a, b, and c are the sides given above.

The presented equation above is the Heron's formula.

Substituting the known values,
s = (8.7 + 10.1 + 9.8) / 2
s = 14.3

A = sqrt ((14.3)(14.3 - 8.7)(14.3 - 10.1)(14.3 - 9.8))
A = 38.9 units squared

Thus, the answer to this item is not among the choices.

Solve 3x + 2 = 15 for x using the change of base formula log base b of y equals log y over log b. −1.594 0.465 2.406 4.465

disa [49]

Answer:

The value in 3x + 2 = 15 for x using the change of base formula is 0.465 approximately and second option is correct one.

Solution:

Given, expression is $3^{(x+2)}=15$

We have to solve the above expression using change of base formula which is given as

$\log _{b} a=\frac{\log a}{\log b}$

Now, let us first apply logarithm for the given expression.

Then given expression turns into as, $x+2=\log _{3} 15$

By using change of base formula,

$x+2=\frac{\log _{10} 15}{\log _{10} 3}$

x + 2 = 2.4649

x = 2.4649 – 2 = 0.4649

Hence, the value of x is 0.465 approximately and second option is correct one.

A necklace found at a pawn shop is 192 grams and has a volume of 19.5 cubic centimetres. What metal is the necklace made of?

Sophie [7]

Answer:

we divide 192 by the volume 19.5

192÷19.5=9.85 so the necklace is made of bronze

Two isosceles triangles have the same base length. the legs of one of the triangles are twice as long as the legs of the other.

Makovka662 [10]

An isosceles triangle is a type of triangle where 2 sides are equal.

Picture out 2 triangles with the same base length.
On the first triangle, its legs are twice the length of the legs of the second triangle.

To put it into variables, let:
B = the same base length of the two triangles
A = the length of one leg the smaller triangle
2A = the length of one leg of the bigger triangle

Given: Perimeter of smaller triangle = 23cm
Perimeter of bigger triangle = 43cm

Recall the formula for solving the perimeter of a triangle:
Perimeter = A + B + C

where, A, B, and C are the legs of the triangle

Since the triangle involved is an isosceles triangle, therefore, we can say that
Perimeter = 2A + B , 2 legs are equal ( A=C )

Substituting the given perimeter value to the formula.

23cm = 2A + B ⇒ equation 1 (smaller triangle)
43cm = 2(2A) + B ⇒ equation 2 (bigger triangle)

Simplifying equation 2.
43cm = 4A + B
(rearranging) B = 43cm - 4A ⇒ equation 3

Substituting equation 3 to equation 1:
(equation 1) 23cm = 2A + B
23cm = 2A + (43cm - 4A)
23cm = -2A + 43cm
2A = 43cm - 23cm
2A = 20cm ⇒ length of the leg of the bigger triangle
A = 10cm ⇒ length of the leg of the smaller triangle

To solve for the base length, just substitute the value of A to equation 3
(equation 3) B = 43cm - 4A
B = 43cm - 4(10cm)
B = 3 cm

Final Answer:

• For the smaller triangle, the length of the sides are 10cm, 10cm, and 3cm
• For the bigger triangle, the length of the sides are 20cm, 20cm, and 3cm

A reflection changes the shape of a figure. True False

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

A reflection does not change the shape of a figure.

For example, If you look into a mirror, you are looking at a reflection of yourself, but your face doesn't change into something else...! :)
