Question

Base and height of triangle whose height is four more than seven times its base. Whats the base and height?  Thanks :)

anonymous · Answer

h = 7a + 4
a = (h-4)/7

anonymous · Answer

whats the seven?

diyadiya · Answer

height is four more than 7 times its base
so h= 7b+4 
where b is base 
so 7b=h-4
b=(h-4)/7

anonymous · Answer

/7 is what i meant :)  but thank you for that information

diyadiya · Answer

7 is given in the question :) "seven times its base " :)

anonymous · Answer

How do i get the answers, do i solve both?

diyadiya · Answer

i hope this is the final answer

anonymous · Answer

which one is the final answer :) is the answer just how its set up?

diyadiya · Answer

$$h= 7b+4 $$$$b= \frac{(h-4)}{7}$$

anonymous · Answer

Thank you :)  Can you help me with two more? Then I'll be done for now.  I'm just on a less time because I got up late and I have to work on another project soon.  But first I have to get this math out of the way, my teacher makes us have perfectly correct answers

diyadiya · Answer

I'll try

diyadiya · Answer

wait 5min

anonymous · Answer

ok :D thanks so much, ill be right back...

anonymous · Answer

one leg of a right triangle is 6 millimeters shorter than longer leg, and hypotenuse is 6 millimeters longer than longer leg.   Find lengths of sides of triangle.

anonymous · Answer

so i need longer, shorter, and hypo :)

diyadiya · Answer

Longleg=x
shorter leg= x-6 
Hypo=x+6
(x+6)^2=(x-6)^2+x^2
x^2+12x+36=x^2-12x+36+x^2
x^2-24x=0
x(x-24)=0
x=0 or x=24

anonymous · Answer

Yay thanks so much! One more question and I'm done...be right back :D

diyadiya · Answer

ok :)

anonymous · Answer

oh which is longer etc?

anonymous · Answer

It wants three answers

diyadiya · Answer

i've , mentioned everything 
can you tell me which is longer , shorter & hypotenuse?

anonymous · Answer

hypo: 30
longer:24
short:19?

diyadiya · Answer

is short one 19?

diyadiya · Answer

24-6=18 :)

anonymous · Answer

18? ok thanks :D  Ill be back in a sec

anonymous · Answer

Ok same problem but 1 mill instead of six :(  My computer kicked me off and made me a new problem, I'm sorry

diyadiya · Answer

i didnt get you,what happend?

anonymous · Answer

The problem reset

anonymous · Answer

can you solve it with 1 instead of six used? mill wise :)

diyadiya · Answer

can you try out i'll help you

anonymous · Answer

ok just a sec :)

anonymous · Answer

I tried :( I just messed the whole thing up, the dumb x^2 confuses me

diyadiya · Answer

(x+1)^2=(x-1)^2+x^2
x^2+2x+1=x^2-2x+1+x^2
x^2-4x=0
x(x-4)=0
x=0 or x=4

longest=4
shortest =4-1=3
hypo=4+1=5

anonymous · Answer

oh Diya thanks so much :)

diyadiya · Answer

Welcome =)

anonymous · Answer

I have one more now ^_^ <3
