Jessica was given the area and the length of the base of a triangle. A = 17.5 units, b = 5 units. She solved the formula for are

a for h to find the height of the triangle. Determine if Jessica solved the equation correctly and found the correct answer. If not, describe what mistake she made and solve the formula for h correctly and justify your steps.
A = bh

A · b = h

(17.5) (5) = h

43.75 = h

The height of the triangle is 43.75 units.

Answer:

She messed up the equation, A= B x h, she changed it midway, and also, you need to add the one half to make the equation valid

Step-by-step explanation:

A=1/2 x b xh

17.5 = 1/2 x 5 x h

35=5h     (multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of one half)

35/5 = 5h/5

7=h

The height of the triangle is 7 units

F almonds sell for $1.20 per pound, and walnuts sell for $.75 per pound, how many pounds of each must be used to make 45 pounds
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Option A.) 20 pounds of walnuts and 25 pounds of almonds is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) let x be the the number of pounds of almonds

ii) let y be the number of pounds of walnuts

iii) therefore x + y = 45 pounds of the mixture

iv) 1.2x + 0.75y = 1.00 \times 45 = 45

v) Multipling equation in iv) by 4 we get

  4.8x + 3y = 180

vi) multiplying equation in iii) by 3 we get

     3x + 3y = 135

vii) subtracting equation vi) from equation v)  we get 1.8x = 45

ix) therefore we get x = 45/1.8 = 25 pounds of almonds

x) therefore 25 + y = 45  .... substituting value of x from ix) in iii) we get

   therefore y = 20 pounds of walnuts

Therefore option A.) 20 pounds of walnuts and 25 pounds of almonds is correct.
