The base of a triangle is 9/4 times of its height. If the area of triangle is 144 cm2. Find the height and the base.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the base of triangle is 9/4 times of its height . And area is 144 cm² . Let the height be h , then its base be 9h/4 .

• According to Question :-

Therefore ,

Height = h = 8cm .Base ,= 9h/4 = 18cm .

Intersecting secant-tangent theorem states that if a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.so to break it down: 1. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p.sr = 21rp = 3x + 3pq = 4x + 4following to equation: tangent squared = the two segments multiplied by each otherso (4x + 4) ^ 2 = (3x + 3) • (21) simplifies to 16x^2 - 31x - 47 = 0 or (16x - 47)(x + 1) x = -1 or x = 47/162. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p (again! )sr = 16rp = xpq = 15(15) ^ 2 = 16 • x225 = 16xx = 225/163. the interesting chords are proportional to each other so a ratio is possible to set up: ap dp 10 3 + x = = —— = pc pb 8 xcross multiple to get 10x = (3 + x)(8)x = 12

The correct graph is the second one, with the points being at (-6,0), (2,0) and reaching down to (-2,-8)
