3 RIGHT TRIANGLES
1 big right triangle is divided into 2 smaller ones. Medium
and small.
<span> a.How far is the spot on the beach from the parking lot? </span>
Medium triangle: long leg = 32 m ; short leg = x
Small triangle: long leg = x ; short leg = 18m
32/x = x/18
32*18 = x*x
576 = x²
√576 = √x²
24 = x
Parking lot to the beach is 24 meters.
<span>b. How far will he have to walk from the parking lot to get to the refreshment stand?</span>
Use Pythagorean theorem:
Medium triangle: long leg = 32 m ; short leg = 24 m ;
hypotenuse = ?
32²+ 24² = c²
1024 + 576 = c²
1600 = c²
√1600 = √c²
40 m = c
Parking lot to refreshment stand is 40 meters.
We can represent the base as z and the height as 2z+6. We are going to use the formula A=1/2*b*h and solve for z
180=1/2*z*(2z+6)
360=2z^2+6z
0=2z^2+6z-360
0=2(z^2+3z-180)
0=(z+15)(z-12)
So z=-15 and 12 but it must be positive so then the base is equal to 12
When we plug this into 2z+6 we get 30 for the height
2(12)+6=30
Hope this helps
Step-by-step explanation:
- 1⅔ < -¼

Mary is incorrect. Perimeter is not proportional to area. An example which you can use is garden A is an 8 by 1 rectangle. The perimeter is 18 while the area is 8. Graden B is a 4 by 4 square. The perimeter is 16 (less than garden A) while the area is 16 (two times more than garden B).
