Answer:

6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is $\frac{bh}{2} = A$ , where b = base, h = height, and A = area. In this case, we're given the height as 4 cm and the area as 6 cm^2.

Let's plug in these values.

$\frac{4b}{2} = 6$

Now, let's solve this algebraically.

Step 1: Multiply both sides by 2.

$\frac{4b}{2} * 2 = 6 * 2$
$4b = 12$

Step 2: Divide both sides by 4.

$\frac{4b}{4} = \frac{12}{4}$
$b = 3$

Step 3: Check if solution is correct.

$\frac{3*4}{2} = 6$
$\frac{12}{2} = 6$
$6 = 6$

Therefore, the base is 6 cm. (but don't put the cm in the box because it's already there)

You roll a six sided die. What is the probability of rolling a 1 or a number greater than 4.

Romashka [77]

A. 1/2

This is because there are 6 possible outcomes. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

The probability of rolling 1, 5, and 6 is 3 out of 6 (3/6)

3/6 reduced is 1/2.

Prove that<br> 1+cosθ+sinθ/1+cosθ-sinθ = 1+sinθ/cosθ

marusya05 [52]

Step-by-step explanation:

(1 + cos θ + sin θ) / (1 + cos θ − sin θ)

Multiply by the reciprocal:

(1 + cos θ + sin θ) / (1 + cos θ − sin θ) × (1 + cos θ + sin θ) / (1 + cos θ + sin θ)

(1 + cos θ + sin θ)² / [ (1 + cos θ − sin θ) (1 + cos θ + sin θ) ]

(1 + cos θ + sin θ)² / [ (1 + cos θ)² − sin² θ) ]

Distribute and simplify:

(1 + cos θ + sin θ)² / (1 + 2 cos θ + cos² θ − sin² θ)

[ 1 + 2 (cos θ + sin θ) + (cos θ + sin θ)² ] / (1 + 2 cos θ + cos² θ − sin² θ)

(1 + 2 cos θ + 2 sin θ + cos² θ + 2 sin θ cos θ + sin² θ) / (1 + 2 cos θ + cos² θ − sin² θ)

Use Pythagorean identity:

(2 + 2 cos θ + 2 sin θ + 2 sin θ cos θ) / (sin² θ + cos² θ + 2 cos θ + cos² θ − sin² θ)

(2 + 2 cos θ + 2 sin θ + 2 sin θ cos θ) / (2 cos² θ + 2 cos θ)

(1 + cos θ + sin θ + sin θ cos θ) / (cos² θ + cos θ)

Factor:

(1 + cos θ + sin θ (1 + cos θ)) / (cos θ (1 + cos θ))

(1 + cos θ)(1 + sin θ) / (cos θ (1 + cos θ))

(1 + sin θ) / cos θ

Solve for 2x^2-4x+5=6

Softa [21]

To solve for a variable, you need to get it (x) by itself.

2x² - 4x + 5 = 6 Subtract 6 from both sides
2x² - 4x - 1 = 0 Plug this into the Quadratic Formula

a = 2 , b = -4 , c = -1
x = $\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$ Plug in your values
x = $\frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{(-4)^2 - 4(2)(-1)} }{2(2)}$ Simplify
x = $\frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 + 8} }{4}$ Simplify
x = $\frac{4 \pm 2\sqrt{6} }{4}$ Simplify by removing a 2 from every term
x = $\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{6} }{2}$ Simplify by taking the fraction apart
x = $\frac{2}{2} \pm \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{2}$ Change $\frac{2}{2}$ to 1
x = 1 $\pm \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{2}$ Simplify $\frac{ \sqrt{6} }{2}$ to $\sqrt{ \frac{3}{2} }$
x = 1 $\pm \sqrt{ \frac{3}{2} }$
