Answer: The base is 18.3ft
Sam wants to build a wooden deck on his patio, which is in the shape of a parallelogram. The area of the patio is 280 ft2. Find the base. Round your answer to the nearest foot. (height=5x)(base=6x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Area = 280ft^2
height = 5x
Base = 6x
The area of the parallelogram A can be written as;
Area = base × height
A = b×h
Substituting the values of Area, base and height.
280 = 5x × 6x
280 = 30x^2
x^2 = 280/30
x = √(280/30)
Since the base = 6x ;
Substituting the value of x.
Base = 6x = 6(√(280/30))
Base = 18.3ft
The base is 18.3ft
Answer:
y = -(1/2)x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the standard form on an equation: y = mx + b
A line that is perpendicular has a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the other line. We also have a point (x, y) that is on the line, so our equation begins as..
1 = -(1/2)(6) + b We must solve for b ( -1/2 is the opposite reciprocal of 2)
1 = -3 + b
4 = b
so our equation is
y = -(1/2)x + 4
Answer:
70° and 20°
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the measure of one angle then x + 50 is the measure of the other angle, thus
x + 50 + x = 90
2x + 50 = 90 ( subtract 50 from both sides )
2x = 40 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 20
The smallest angle is 20° and the other angle is 20 + 50 = 70°
