The height of the triangle if the base is 8 is 3.96 units

Given the following parameters

Base of a triangle = 8 units

Let the hypotenuse be "c"

Let the height be "h"

If the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is one unit more than twice the height, then;

c = 2h + 1

According to the Pythagoras theorem:

c² = b² + h²

(2h + 1)² = 8² + h²

Expand

4h²+4h+1 = 64 + h²

4h²-h² + 4h + 1 - 64 = 0

3h² + 4h - 63 = 0

Factorize the result

On factorizing, the value of the height is 2

h = \frac{-2}{3}+\frac{\sqrt{193} }3\\

h = 11.89/3

h = 3.96 units

Hence the height of the triangle if the base is 8 is 3.96 units

A crew consists of 1​ apprentice, 1​ journeyman, and 1 master carpenter. The crew receives a check for ​$4800 for a job they jus
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Apprentice=$800

Journeyman=$1600

Master=$2400

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that all the crew won a total of $4800 then it is the salary of the apprentice, the journeyman and the master carpenter. It say that the journeyman makes 200% of the apprentice, then it means that the journeyman won the double of the apprentice. The master won 150% of what a journeyman, it means that the master won 1.5 of the salary of the journeyman.

With this information we can write the next set of equations.

A+J+M=\$4800\\J=2A\\M=1.5J

Using the second equation in the third equation we can know how much won the master in terms of the salary of the apprentice, then:

M=1.5J\\M=1.5(2A)\\M=3A

With this we could rewrite the first equation as:

A+J+M=\$4800\\A+2A+3A=\$4800\\6A=\$4800\\A=\dfrac{\$4800}{6}\\A=\$800

Then the aprentice earn $800, the journeyman $1600 and the master $2400
