The length of the bottom beam =9.16 feet

<h3>What is Pythagoras theorem?</h3>

the well-known geometric theorem that the sum of the squares on the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square on the hypotenuse.

Given : Total length of arm = 3.4+3.4=6.8 ft

Applying Pythagoras in  triangle on right side we have,

H²=P²+ B²

6.8²= P² + 4.8²

46.24= P² +23.04

P²= 23.2

P= 4.81 feet

Similarly, on the triangle on left side.

Again we have the base as 4.81 feet.

Now,  the length of the bottom beam= 4.81*2

                                                             =9.16 feet

The slope of a line passing through H (-2, 5) is -3/4. Which ordered pair represents a point on this line?
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Answer:
(6,-1)

Explanation:
The slope of the line can be calculated using the following formula:
slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

We are given that:
slope = -0.75
point (x1,y1) is (-2,5)

We will use each of the given points to calculate the corresponding slope, then compare the calculated slope with the given one.

For point (6,-1):
slope = \frac{-1-5}{6--2} = -0.75 ........> accepted choice

For point (2,8):
slope = \frac{8-5}{2--2} = 0.75 ........> rejected choice

For point (-5,1):
slope = \frac{1-5}{-5--2} = 4/3 ........> rejected choice

For point (1,1):
slope = \frac{1-5}{1--2} = -4/3 ........> rejected choice

Therefore, the first option is the only correct one.

Hope this helps :)

The average of 9 scores is x. If the tenth score is 36 points more than x, by how many points will the tenth score raise the ave
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of 9 scores is x.

average = (sum of scores)/(number of scores)

x = (sum of scores)/9

sum of scores = 9x

The sum of the 9 scores is 9x.

The tenth score is 36 more than x, so it is x + 36.

The sum of the 10 scores is 9x + x + 36 = 10x + 36.

The average of the 10 scores is (10x + 36)/10 = x + 3.6

The difference of averages is

x + 3.6 - x = 3.6

IrinaK [193]

Dale drove to the mountains last weekend. there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 7 hours. when dale drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 5 hours. if his average rate was 18 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does dale live from the mountains? do not do any rounding.

Answer:

Dale live 315 miles from the mountains

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the speed  of Dale to the mountains

Time taken by Dale to the mountains=7 hrs

Therefore distance covered by dale to the mountain = speed × time = 7y ......eqn 1

Time taken by Dale back home = 5hours

Since it speed increased by 18 miles per hour back home it speed = y+18

So distance traveled home =speed × time = (y+18)5 ...... eqn 2

Since distance cover is same in both the eqn 1 and eqn 2.

Eqn 1 = eqn 2

7y = (y+18)5

7y = 5y + 90

7y - 5y = 90 (collection like terms)

2y = 90

Y = 45

Substitute for y in eqn 1 to get distance away from mountain

= 7y eqn 1

= 7×45

= 315 miles.

∴ Dale leave 315 miles from the mountains

what do the following two equations represent? please help 4x+2y= 10 4x-2y= -10 a) the same line b) distance parallel lines c) p
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

  d)  intersecting, but not perpendicular lines

Step-by-step explanation:

Changing the sign of one of the variable terms causes the line to be reflected across one of the axes. The slope is the opposite of what it was. Since the original slope was not 1 or -1, the resulting line is not perpendicular to it. Lines with different slopes will be intersecting.

The two lines are intersecting, but not perpendicular.
