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

2

.

We know that the area of the triangle is A=

×b×a, therefore,

108=

(x)(x+6)

+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

Each of the line segments in the word MATH are numbered in the graph below. Find the slope (as a ratio of rise over run) of each
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Line 1: \infty

Line 2: -\frac{4}{3}

Line 3: \frac{4}{3}

Line 4: \infty

Line 5: \frac{7}{4}

Line 6 : -\frac{7}{3}

Line 7: 0

Line 8: 0

Line 9: \infty

Line 10: \infty

Line 11: 0

Line 12: \infty

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of line is given by the formula:

\text{Slope = }\dfrac{\text{Change in } y\text{ coordinate}}{\text{Change in } x\text{ coordinate}}

Line 1:

The change in x coordinate is zero.

Therefore slope of line 1 is \infty.

Line 2:

Change in y coordinate = -4

Change in x coordinate = 3

Slope = -\frac{4}{3}

Line 3:

Change in y coordinate = 4

Change in x coordinate = 3

Slope = \frac{4}{3}

Line 4:

The change in x coordinate is zero.

Therefore slope of line 4 is \infty.

Line 5:

Change in y coordinate = 7

Change in x coordinate = 3

Slope = \frac{7}{3}

Line 6:

Change in y coordinate = -7

Change in x coordinate = 3

Slope = -\frac{7}{3}

Line 7:

Change in y coordinate = 0

Slope = 0

Line 8:

Change in y coordinate = 0

Slope = 0

Line 9:

The change in x coordinate is zero.

Therefore slope of line 9 is \infty.

Line 10:

The change in x coordinate is zero.

Therefore slope of line 10 is \infty.

Line 11:

The change in y coordinate is zero.

Therefore slope of line 11 is 0.

Line 12:

The change in x coordinate is zero.

Therefore slope of line 12 is \infty.

What happens when the two addends have opposite signs and the number with the larger magnitude (size) is positive?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

The smaller addend is subtracted from the bigger addend

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the two numbers with a and b such that a > b

So, the mathematical representation will be

+a + (-b)

Open the bracket

+a -b

<em>This implies that the smaller addend (b) is subtracted from the bigger addend (b)</em>

<em></em>

<em>Take for instance; a = 6 and b = 4</em>

<em>This gives</em>

<em></em>+6 + (-4)<em></em>

<em></em>

<em>Open the bracket</em>

<em></em>= +6 - 4<em></em>

<em></em>= 2<em></em>
