110% = 1.1

17.85 / 2.1 = 8.5

Jason had to replace the floor of a triangular portion of his dining room. The portion had a height that was twice as high as th

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the the area of a triangle can be represented as $\frac{bh}{2}$ .

Since the height is twice the base, we can substitute the value $2b$ in as $h$ in the expression, making it $\frac{b\cdot2b}{2}$ . If the area is 16, we can make the equation

$\frac{b\cdot2b}{2} = 16$

Now to solve for b.

$\frac{2b^2}{2} = 16\\\frac{2b^2}{2}\cdot2 = 16\cdot2\\\\2b^2 = 32\\\\2b^2\div2 = 32\div2\\\\b^2 = 16\\\\b=4$

Hope this helped!

Two trains leave towns 474 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels13 km/m faster than

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

112 km/h

125 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = time * speed

Distance = distance train 1 + distance train 2

474 = 2(s) + 2(s + 13)

Distribute

474 = 2s + 2s + 26

Combine like terms

474 = 4s + 26

Subtract 26 from both sides

448 = 4s

Divide both sides by 4

112 = s

s = 112 km/h

s + 13 = 125 km/hr
