Answer:

$\frac{984}{17}$ or approximately 57.88

Step-by-step explanation:

To compute the base length, we employ the triangular area formula.

$A=\frac{bh}{2}$

Insert the known values for the area and height to find $b$ .

$493=\frac{17b}{2}$

$984=17b$

$b=\frac{984}{17}So the base is [tex]\frac{984}{17}$ or close to 57.88 when rounded to two decimal places.

Answer:

58 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the base length of the triangle, we need the area and height. The area formula is A=1/2 bh

where A stands for area, b signifies the base length, and h is the height of the triangle. Therefore, this is the equation to utilize.

Given that the area is A=493 and the height is h=17, we substitute these values into the formula and solve for b:

A=493

493=1/2⋅b⋅17

493=17/2b

58=b

The measurement of the base is 58 meters.

PIT_PIT [9117]

Answer:

$200

Step-by-step explanation:

The yearly tax obligation is...

2.4% × $100,000 = $2,400

Monthly, this amounts to...

$2400/(12 mo) = $200/mo

This means taxes will increase Bonnie's monthly mortgage payment by $200.

Alice and Briana each participate in a 5 kilometer race. Alice's distance covered, in kilometers, after t minutes can be modeled

PIT_PIT [9117]

Answer:

a. Alice

b. Briana

c. 0.51 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Alice's formula is applicable for any t > 0 minutes, while Briana’s is only applicable when

2t - 1 > 0

2t > 1

t > 1/2 minutes

b. They complete the race when their total distance equals 5 kilometers. For Alice:

t/4 = 5

t = 20 minutes

For Briana:

√(2t - 1) = 5

2t - 1 = 25

2t = 26

t = 13 minutes

c. They reach the same point when they have traveled the same distance, expressed as:

t/4 = √(2t - 1)

(t/4)² = 2t - 1

t²/16 = 2t - 1

t² = 16(2t - 1)

t² = 32t - 16

t² - 32t + 16 = 0

Using the quadratic formula:

$t = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}$

$t = \frac{32 \pm \sqrt{-32^2 - 4(1)(16)}}{2(1)}$

$t = \frac{32 \pm 30.98}{2}$

$t_1 = \frac{32 + 30.98}{2}$

$t_1 = 31.49$

$t_2 = \frac{32 - 30.98}{2}$

$t_2 = 0.51$

Only the second solution fits this scenario because the race concluded before they took 31.49 minutes.

Jingle Corporation produces toy footballs. Each football sells for $9.95 with a variable unit cost of $7.10. Assuming a fixed co

lawyer [9240]

The profit comes to $2.85 since $9.95 minus $7.10 equals $2.85.

To break even, you would need to sell 4000 footballs as 11,400 divided by 2.85 equals 4000.
