Answer:
x=4.0625 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the two legs.
Not knowing which is the hypotenuse, lets assume that (x+5)cm is the hypotenuse:
(x+5)^2= 9^2+(x-3)^2
(x^2+10x+25)=81+(x^2-6x+9)
x^2+10x+25=81+x^2-6x+9
16x=65
x=4.0625
Checking:
(4.0625+5)^2=9^2+(4.0625-3)^2
82.1289=82.1289
Answer:
x = -6
y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of two numbers is 3
x + y = 3
twice the larger number is 36 more than three times the smaller number
2y = 3x + 36
Divide both sides by 2
y = 1.5x + 18
substitute for y in the first equation
x + (1.5x + 18) = 3
2.5x = -15
divide both sides by 2.5
x = -6
Substitute for x in the first equation
-6 + y = 3
y = 9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The Law of Cosines gives an immediate result. No translation to Cartesian coordinates is necessary. That law makes use of the angle between the vectors, u2-u1
