Let x=height. then base is x+4. plug what we know into the formula for the area of a triangle
A=½bh
16=½*(x+4)*(x)
32=x²+4x
x²+4x-32=0
(x+8)(x-4)=0
so x can be-8 our 4. when we plug-8 in for x we get a negative height. since a triangle cannot have a negative side length we discard-8 and try 4. height=4 and base=8
Answer:
135
Step-by-step explanation:
I think what you are wanting id 0.1 is that rounded to one significant figure
Answer:
3x² – 2x – 8
=> 3x² – 6x + 4x – 8
=> 3x( x – 2 ) + 4( x – 2 )
=> ( 3x + 4 ) ( x – 2 )
Therefore,
Either, 3x + 4 = 0
3x = - 4
x = - 4/3 (Ans)
And,
x – 2 = 0
x = 2 (Ans)
