Answer:
Opens upward
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the coefficient of 
is a positive number +8, then it is a parabola that opens upward
What are the options to check off?
b is two fifths of c, so we make this a ratio with c = 1.
The ratio of b:c is 2/5 : 1
We also have 4a = 3c, rewrite this ratio so c is 1 by dividing both sides by 4,
so we get the ratio of a to c as 3/4 : 1
Now we get the a:b:c ratio of 3/4 : 2/5 : 1 now we can change the fractions to whole numbers, first by multiplying the 3 numbers by 4 to get get rid of the denominator of 4 in a:
3 : 8/5 : 4
Now multiply the 3 numbers by 5 to remove the denominator of 5 in b:
15 : 8 : 20
Now we can check using the equations:
b is 2/5 of c: 20 x 2/5 = 40/5 = 8 This is true.
4a = 3c: 4(15) = 3(20) = 60 = 60, this is also true.
The ratios is 15 : 8: 20
Answer:
4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the the area of a triangle can be represented as 
.
Since the height is twice the base, we can substitute the value 
in as 
in the expression, making it 
. If the area is 16, we can make the equation
Now to solve for b.
Hope this helped!
