-----------------------------------------------
Formula
-----------------------------------------------
Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height

-----------------------------------------------
Define base and height
-----------------------------------------------
Let the height be x
height = x
base = 5x

-----------------------------------------------
Find Height
-----------------------------------------------
$1440 = \dfrac{1}{2} (x)(5x)$

$1440 = \dfrac{5}{2} x^2$

$x^2 = 1440 \div \dfrac{5}{2}$

$x^2 = 1440 \times \dfrac{2}{5}$

$x^2 = 576$

$x = \sqrt{576}$

$x = 24$

-----------------------------------------------
Find base and Height
-----------------------------------------------
height = x = 24 cm
base = 5x = 24 x 5 = 120 cm

-----------------------------------------------
Answer: Height = 24cm

To find the area of a triangle you would use this formula: bh/2 = Area.
If the base is 5 times the height, then 46 wouldn't be the answer.
That would be: 46 x 230 = 10,580
10,580/2 = 5,290 which isn't 1,440.
However if it was 24 we get this: 24 x 5 = 120
24 x 120 = 2,880
2,880/2 = 1,440.
So the answer is: 24cm

Students were asked to write 6x^5 + 8x-3x^3+7x^7 in standard form

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The standard form is $7x^7 +6x^5-3x^3 + 8x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$6x^5 + 8x-3x^3+7x^7$

To Find :

standard form of $6x^5 + 8x-3x^3+7x^7$

Solution:

A polynomial is in standard form when its term of highest degree is first, its term of 2nd highest is 2nd etc.

In order to write any polynomial in standard form, you look at the degree of each term. You then write each term in order of degree, from highest to lowest, left to write.

Now lets check the degree of each term in the polynomial

The degree of 6x is 5

The degree of 8x is 1

The degree of 3x is 3

The degree of 7x is 7

Now rewrite the polynomial in the order of the degree, from highest to lowest

$7x^7 +6x^5-3x^3 + 8x$

A car was purchased for $25,000. Research shows that the car has an average yearly depreciation rate of 18.5%. Create a function

vitfil [10]

Answer:

V(t) = 25000 * (0.815)^t

The depreciation from year 3 to year 4 was $2503.71

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model V(t) as an exponencial function:

V(t) = Vo * (1+r)^t

Where Vo is the inicial value of the car, r is the depreciation rate and t is the amount of years.

We have that Vo = 25000, r = -18.5% = -0.185, so:

V(t) = 25000 * (1-0.185)^t

V(t) = 25000 * (0.815)^t

In year 3, we have:

V(3) = 25000 * (0.815)^3 = 13533.58

In year 4, we have:

V(4) = 25000 * (0.815)^4 = 11029.87

The depreciation from year 3 to year 4 was:

V(3) - V(4) = 13533.58 - 11029.87 = $2503.71

The Toga Trench is at an elevation of 35,702 feet below sea level .The south sandwich Trench is at an elevation of 23,737 ft . b

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Tonga trench Elevation = 35,702ft

South sandwich trench elevation = 23,737ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following:

Tonga trench Elevation = 35,702 Feets

South sandwich trench elevation = 23,737 Feets

Expressing both numbers as rational numbers :

Both the Tonga trench Elevation and South sandwich trench elevation are already stated as rational numbers because all integers are rational numbers, be it expressed as a quotient or proportion of integer numbers ( that is numbers that are expressed without decimal components.

Therefore, rational expression for both are :

Tonga trench Elevation = 35,702ft

South sandwich trench elevation = 23,737ft
