2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

There are various ways to approach this. Here's an approach I took:

The area of the parallelogram is 12, if you think of it as a puzzle, you can re-arrange it as a rectangle of 3 by 4.

h is actually the altitude of a 3:4:5 triangle you get when you cut the parallelogram in half. The area of this triangle is half that of the parallelogram, 6.

But the area must also be base * h/2, ie., 5h/2. So we can solve the equation:

5h/2 = 6, from which you find 5h=12 => h=12/5=2.4

Another approach is to say that line h starts at position x on the side with length 5. Then you can apply pythagoras twice:

h² + x² = 4²

h² + (5-x)² = 3²

Solve this, and you find x = 12/5 as well.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this

i think it will be zero as slope has a formula of difference between initial and final distance divided by itz time interval
