A carpenter is making a backyard deck. In the measurements, he has determined that he needs to make a support triangle with an area 46m2. He knows that the base must be 1 less than 2 times the height. If the base is represented by 2x-1 and height equals x. Find the equation that correctly shows the area of the triangle.

base = 3x - 1

height = x

area of triangle = (1/2)bh

22 = (1/2)(3x-1)(x)

44 = (3x-1)(x)

44 = 3x^2-x

0 = 3x^2-x-44

0 = 3x^2-12x+11x-44

0 = (3x^2-12x)+(11x-44)

0 = 3x(x-4)+11(x-4)

0 = (x-4)(3x+11)

x = {-11/3, 4}

throw out the negative solution (extraneous) leaving

x = 4 m (height)

.

Base:

3x - 1 = 3(4) - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11

the answer above me is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

is there a graph

step-by-step explanation:

answer:   the paragraph proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

given: in a δxwy where

such that, ∠wzx ≅ ∠yzx and zw≅zy

we have to prove that: segment zx is a perpendicular bisector of segment wy.

prove: since, zw≅zy ⇒ ∠wzy is a supplementary angle.

then, ∠wzy= 180°

⇒∠wzx + ∠yzx = 180° ( because xz divides ∠wzy into two parts)

but, ∠wzx ≅ ∠yzx ( given)

⇒∠wzy+∠wzy=180° ( by substitution)

⇒2∠wzy=180°

⇒∠wzy=90°

⇒∠wzy=∠yzx =90°

therefore, xz⊥wy where wz=zy

⇒zx is a perpendicular bisector of wy.
