Answer: the base is 28 inches. The altitude is 9 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h represent the altitude of the sign.
Let b represent the length if the base of the sign.
The warning sign is triangular in shape.
The formula for determining the area of a triangle is expressed as
Area = 1/2bh
The base of the sign is 9 inches longer than the altitude. This means that
b = h + 9
If the area of the sign is 266 square inches, it means that
266 = 1/2 × h(h + 9)
266 × 2 = h(h + 9)
532 = h² + 9h
h² + 9h - 532 = 0
h² + 28h - 19h - 532 = 0
h(h + 28) - 19(h + 28) = 0
h(h + 28) - 19(h + 28) = 0
(h + 28)(h - 19) = 0
h = 19 or h = - 28
Since the height cannot be negative, then h = 19
b = h + 9 = 10 + 9
b = 28
Answer:
21
(2,14)
14/2=7
14+7=21
21 is final answer
Erika had a 95% chance of guessing wrong
20 can be seen as 100%
the % will go down by 5's because of the original number
.5*20=
This will give you a 95% success rate.
There is a 99.3 chance that neither occur cause you would add 0.3 and 0.4 together and get 0.7 then you would subtract 100 and 0.7 and get 99.3. So your answer is 99.3. Hope this helped :D
Quotient means divide, so the expression would be r/3, I believe
hope it helps
