<h3>Answer:  9.7</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

See the diagram below.

The diagram shows we have a right triangle with these side lengths:

  • a = 8 meters
  • b = 5.5 meters
  • c = unknown hypotenuse

We'll use the pythagorean theorem to find c

a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\\\\c = \sqrt{(8)^2 + (5.5)^2}\\\\c = \sqrt{94.25}\\\\c \approx 9.7082\\\\c \approx 9.7\\\\

Mrs. Durham and Brett are about 9.7 meters apart.

In the diagram below of parallelogram ABCD with diagonals AC and BD, m∠1=45° and m∠DCB=120°.Whatisthemeasureof∠2?
bixtya [17]

Answer:

15degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram

<1+<2 + <DCB = 180

<1+<2+120 = 180

<1+<2 = 180 - 120

<1+<2 = 60

<2 = 60 - <1

<2 = 60 - 45

<2 = 15degrees

Hence the measure <2 is 15degree

if anyone can solve this gets a $10 gamestop card i already got the codeSolve for x. Show each step of the solution. 2.5(10 - x)
schepotkina [342]

Remark

Forget the Gamestop. I'd never use it. This one is on the house.

Solution

2.5(10 - x) + 10 = 72 - 1.5x*(5x + 12)   The first step is to remove the brackets.  Be very careful you understand the bracket on the right.

25 - 2.5x + 10 = 72 - 7.5x - 18            Study the signs carefully. Collect like terms.

35 - 2.5x = 54 - 7.5x                   Add 7.5x to both sides.

35 - 2.5x + 7.5x = 54 - 7.5x + 7.5x

35 + 5x = 54                               Subtract 35 from both sides.

5x = 19                                        Divide by  5

x = 19/5

x = 3 4/5 = 3.8

Check

When you numbers are so cumbersome, you should check the answer.

<em><u>LHS</u></em>

2.5(10 - 3.8) + 10

2.5(6.2) + 10

15.5 + 10

25.5

<em><u>RHS</u></em>

72 - 1.5(5*3.8 +12)

72 - 1.5(19 + 12)

72 - 1.5(31)

72 - 46.5

25.5

<em><u>RHS = LHS</u></em> The solution checks.

given
slope=5
and passes throught (-2,-1) is
-2=x1
-1=y1

y-(-1)=5(x-(-2))
y+1=5(x+2)
