Diana has an end table in the shape of a right triangle. the triangular tabletop is twice as high as it is wide at the base. if the area of the tabletop is 4 square feet (4ft2), what is the width of the base of this triangular tabletop in feet?

The width of the base is 2.828 feet

Explanation:

Given the area of the table top is 4 square feet

The triangular table top is twice as high as it is wide at the base

Therefore, we can say that height = base

Area of a right angled triangle is calculated by, Area = ½ * base * height  

In this case, height = base

Therefore, area =

Substituting the values,

4 =

 = 8

Base = 2√2 = 2 * 1.414 = 2.828 feet

Therefore, the width of the base is 2.828 feet

step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be 1 1/72

step-by-step explanation:

you can rewrite the equation by separating the parts and then solving individually:

10-9=1

1/8 - 1/9=

find l c d and then combine:

1 1/72
