The height of a triangle is 2 less than 5 times its base. if the base of the triangle is x feet, and the area of the triangle is 12 square feet, which equation models this situation? a. 5x2 − 2x − 24 = 0 b. 5x2 − 2x − 6 = 0 c. 5x2 − 2x − 12 = 0 d. 25x2 − 10x − 24 = 0

A. 5x^2 − 2x − 24 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

height = 5b-2

b =x

We can rewrite the height as

h = 5x-2

We know the formula for area of a triangle

A = 1/2 bh

A =1/2 x * (5x-2)

Distributing the x

A=    1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

We know A =12

12 = 1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

Multiply each side by 2

12*2 = 2*1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

24 = 5x^2 - 2x

Subtract 24 from each side

24-24 = 5x^2 - 2x-24

0 = 5x^2 - 2x-24

statement #3: proof- ang is congruent to ang ecd : angles are congruent.  

step-by-step explanation:

1: the missing angles in statement #3  

a.) acb  

reason- the reason why the answer is acb is because angle ecd and angle acb are both the same size *that's what the word congruent means this is really simple.  

2: the missing word in reason #3  

c.) vertical  

reason- the reason why the answer is vertical is because the angles in that diagram on figure 2 is slanted, which is vertical, and the e and a both lay on vertical lines. along with the other's, but e and a are the 2 main points you want to focus on. and c is kind of like your starting point, because c is for both angles, not just one.  

i hope that was and understanding.
