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

Please help I don’t understand
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

5 people

Step-by-step explanation:

For each people Ms Hernandez bring to the zoo, she will pay $15.50, so if she go alone, 1×15.50, if she go with one person, 2×15.50, with three 3×15.50, and keep growing this way. The price each person pay is constant and equal to 15.50, and what will determine the final price is the number of people. Also remember that she always will have to pay $ 10 on parking, so you can write an equation with this:

15.50x +10 = y, as x being the number of people and y being the final price.

She have $100, so this is the max she can spend. Two know the number of people she can bring to the zoo, put 100 in place of y and find the value of x:

15.50x + 10 = 100

15.50x = 100 - 10

15.50x = 90

x = 90/15.50

x = 5.8

But there's no way to bring 0.8 person, so the max she can bring are 5 people, including her
