See the picture to better understand the problem

F________G_______H_______I

we know that
FI=FG+GH+HI-----> solve for GH
GH=FI-FG-HI
FI=7 units
FG=2 units
HI=1 unit
substitute
GH=7-2-1-----> GH=4 units

the answer is
GH=4 units

The width of a triangle is six more than twice the height. The area of the triangle is 88in2. Find the height and base of the tr
malfutka [58]

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a triangle is given by:

A = \frac {b * h} {2}

Where:

b: It is the base of the triangle

h: It is the height of the triangle

According to the statement data we have:

b = 6 + 2h

Substituting we have:

88 = \frac {(6 + 2h) * h} {2}\\176 = 6h + 2h ^ 2\\2h ^ 2 + 6h-176 = 0

We divide between 2 on both sides:

h ^ 2 + 3h-88 = 0

We factor by looking for two numbers that, when multiplied, are obtained -88 and when added together, +3 is obtained.

These numbers are +11 and -8.

(h + 11) (h-8) = 0

We have two roots:

h = -11\\h = 8

We choose the positive value.

Thus, the base of the triangle is:b = 6 + 2 (8) = 22

Answer:

The base of the triangle is 22 units.

I've been stuck on this for so long and I have an exam soon, anybody who can help me :'( ?

(i)  speed = distance / time
so time =  distance / speed
here we have

time t = 1080/x  hours

(ii) return flight  time  = 1080 / (x + 30)  hours

(a)  1080/x - 1080/(x + 30) = 1/2

Multiplying  through by the LCD 2x(x + 30) we get:-

1080*2(x + 30) - 2x*1080 = x(x+30)
2160x + 64800 - 2160x = x^2 + 30x
x^2 + 30x - 64800  = 0

(b)  factoring;  -64800 = 270 * -240  ans 270-240 = 30 so we have

(x + 270)(x - 240) = 0   so x = 240  ( we ignore the negative -270)

So the speed for outward journey is 240 km/hr

(c) time ffor outward flight = 1080 / 240 =  4 1/2  hours

(d) average speed for whole flight = distance / time
   Time for outward journey = 4.5 hours and time for  return journey = d / v
= 1080 / (240+30) =  4 hours
 Therefore the average speed for whole journey =  2160 / 8.5 = 254.1 km/hr

louise bought 80 metres of fencing to make an enclosure for her pet dog .tommy if louise expects a rectangular enclosure what is
OleMash [197]

Answer:

400 m^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest  area is obtained where the enclosure is a square.

I think that's the right answer because a square is a special form of a rectangle.

So the square would be 20 * 20  = 400 m^2.

Proof:

Let the  sides of the rectangle be x and y m long

The area A = xy.

Also the perimeter  2x + 2y = 80

x + y = 40

y = 40 - x.

So substituting for y in A = xy:-

A = x(40 - x)

A = 40x - x^2

For maximum value of A  we find the derivative and equate it to 0:

derivative A' =  40 - 2x = 0

2x = 40

x = 20.

So y = 40 - x

= 40 - 20

=20  

x and y are the same value so x = y.

Therefore for maximum area the rectangle is a square.

Jay King, owner of a local Bed and Bath Store knows that his customers will only pay at most, $299 for a blow up bed. Assuming J
Roman55 [17]
If you would like to know the price Jay can pay the manufacturer for the blow up bed, you can calculate this using the following steps:

100% + 40% = 140%

140% of x is $299
140% * x = 299
140/100 * x = 299      /*100/140
x = 299 * 100 / 140
x = $213.6

40% of $213.6 = 40% * 213.6 = 40/100 * 213.6 = 85.44
$213.6 + $85.44 = $299

The correct result would be $213.6.
