Easter island is roughly triangular in shape. the height of the triangle is 7 mi less than the base. the area is 60 mi^2. find the base and the height of the triangular- shapes island.

Base of Island  = 15 m,    Height  =  8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, let the base of the triangular island  =     b meters

So, the height of the region = (b-7)  m

Area of the island = 60 sq.meters

Now, Area of the Triangle

or,

or, 120  = b(b-7)

⇒

or, b(b-15)+8(b-15) = 0

⇒(b-15)(b+8) = 0

Solving this, we get either  b = 15 m , or b = -8m

But as b is the base of the triangle , so b  CANNOT BE NEGATIVE.

⇒ b ≠  -8 m

Hence, Base of Island  = b  = 15 m

and  Height = b -7 = 15 - 7 =  8 m

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.
