The altitude of a triangle is 6 cm greater than its base. If its area is 108 cm

. Find its base and height.

Solution

Verified by Toppr

Let the base of the triangle be x.

It is given that the altitude of the triangle is 6 cm greater than its base, therefore, the altitude of the triangle is (x+6).

It is also given that the area of the triangle is 108 cm

We know that the area of the triangle is A=

×b×a, therefore,

108=

(x)(x+6)

⇒x

+6x=108×2

⇒x

+6x=216

⇒x

+6x−216=0

⇒x

+18x−12x−216=0

⇒x(x+18)−12(x+18)=0

⇒(x−12)=0,(x+18)=0

⇒x=12,x=−18

Since the length of the triangle cannot be negative thus, x=12.

Hence, the base of the triangle is 12 cm

Answer:

2450

Step-by-step explanation:

→ List the formula for a triangle

Area = 0.5 × Base × Height

→ Substitute in the numbers

0.5 × 245 × 20

→ Simplify

asambeis [7]

Answer:

-72=-72

Step-by-step explanation:

5n-42=12n

n=-6

5*(-6)-42 = 12*(-6)

-30-42=-72

-72=-72

So, n= -6 is the right number for this equation

Which function has a simplified base of 4RootIndex 3 StartRoot 4 EndRoot? f(x) = 2(RootIndex 3 StartRoot 16 EndRoot) Superscript

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

$f(x)=4\sqrt[3]{16}^{2x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We believe you're wanting to find a function with an equivalent base of ...

$4\sqrt[3]{4}\approx 6.3496$

The functions you're looking at seem to be ...

$f(x)=2\sqrt[3]{16}^x\approx 2\cdot2.5198^x\\\\f(x)=2\sqrt[3]{64}^x=2\cdot 4^x\\\\f(x)=4\sqrt[3]{16}^{2x}\approx 4\cdot 6.3496^x\ \leftarrow\text{ this one}\\\\f(x)=4\sqrt[3]{64}^{2x}=4\cdot 16^x$

The third choice seems to be the one you're looking for.

Q6.4☆ Points: 2 Suppose that Angela wants to use her sample to create a 68% confidence interval for the true population median o

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

She needs a sample size of 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.68}{2} = 0.16$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.16 = 0.84$ , so Z = 0.995.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The population SD is 2 grams.

This means that $\sigma = 2$

What is the minimum sample size she needs to create a confidence interval that has a width of 0.4 grams?

She needs a sample size of n.

n is found when M = 0.4. So

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.4 = 0.995\frac{2}{\sqrt{n}}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{0.995*2}{0.4}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{0.995*2}{0.4})^2$

$n = 24.8$

Rounding up:

She needs a sample size of 25.

Five students and two teachers pose for a picture.in how many ways can they line up side by side for a picture. 2. In how many w

riadik2000 [5.3K]

First, 5 students and 2 teachers is 7 different people. That means there are 7! Ways they can stand in a line. (7! Means 7x6x5x4x3x2x1)
That is 5040 ways.

Having the teachers on either side with the five students in the middle splits the question. There are 2 ways the teachers could stand (TA on left, TB on right or vice versa). There are 5! Ways to arrange the students in the middle. That is, 120. So combined, there are 2x120 ways to have them lined up with the teachers on either side. 240 ways.

Out of the 5040 ways for all of them to line up, one teacher will be in the middle 3 spaces 3/7 of the time. The second teacher will be on one of the remaining 2 central spaces 2/6 (1/3) of the time. 3/7x1/3 = 1/7. That means 1/7 or 14.29% of the time, the two teachers will occupy two of the three middle slots.
