Given the equation 4(3b + 2)² = 64,
dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we have
(3b + 2)² = 16 and getting the square root of both sides,
(3b + 2) = 4 and (3b + 2) = -4
We can solve for b for each equation and have
3b = 2 | 3b = -6
b = 2/3 | b = -2
Therefore, the values of b are 2/3 and -2 and from the choices, the answer is <span>A: b = 2/3 and b = -2.</span>
Answer:
Option B

|-1| -1
|-1| = 1
Answer:
4.4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw the height of the triangle (perpendicular line from point A to line BC). Since ABC is an isosceles triangle, the height is a perpendicular bisector, so it splits the triangle into two congruent right triangles.
Use Pythagorean theorem to find the height.
c² = a² + b²
(8.5 m)² = (14.5/2 m)² + h²
h ≈ 4.4 m
Multiply 6 and 17 and see if it equals 102
