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

What is the surface area of a box if it is scaled up by a factor of 10
xenn [34]
If we are scaling up the surface area by a factor of 10 means that the two dimensions of area are each being increased by 10 times the original size. Therefore, the surface area is increased by a factor of 10 x 10, or by a factor of 100.
