@ bohotness

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@bohotness

OpenStudy (anonymous):

place in the known values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we known that d=rt... so at what rate is the biker traveling

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the rate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

55

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why do you say 55

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i think 55 is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and how did you get that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the rate is 22(2.5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly (: you are correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have 4 more to do can you help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r= 22 t= 2.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

The height of a triangle with base b and area A is given by the formula h = . What is the height of a triangle with area 26 cm2 and base 8 cm? A. 1.625 cm B. 3.25 cm C. 3.5 cm D. 6.5 cm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it is b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A= b*h A/b= h 26/8 = h h= 3.25 cm Answer: B. 3.25 cm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the area of a triangle is A=bh/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug in what we know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

26=8*h/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is not B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, you were on the right track but you forgot the dividing by 2 part...try doubling your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that way when you divide it, its the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

26=8*6.5/2 26=52/2 26=26

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooooooo ok i got it hey thanks
