What is the height of a triangle, if the area is 20 square inches and the base is 5 inches? Be sure that you can explain how you found your answer.

so normally we would be finding the area of a triangle which is a=h*b/2

but in this case we are finding the height so theirs 3 ways to do this but i prefer the basic way

20=1/2(5)h

20=2.5

8=h

and to find out if that was correct lets do  8*5=40      40/ 2 =20  so this is correct

the height is 8

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)

amount of oatypop that contains the prize = 40%

amount   of oatypop which doesn't contain the prize = (100-40)=60%

probability that hannah will win a prize

    = s +f s +f f s+ff   f s+ff f f s+ infinity.where f= failure,s= success

=   or 60%

probability that hannah only has to buy 3 or less boxes before getting a prize= (s) and ( f s) and (ff s) and (f f f s)

        = = 87.04 %
