Hi there!

We can use pythagorean theorem to solve this problem here. The easiest way to go about solving this problem is to use the theorem to find the hypotenuse, then dividing it by 5 to find the value of x, since the hypotenuse is 5x.

WORK:
27^2 + 36^2 = h^2     (plugging into theorem)
729 + 1296 = h^2     (squaring the numbers)
h^2 = 2025              (adding the numbers together)
hypotenuse = 49    (taking the square root of 2025)
49/5 = x                 (dividing 49 by 5 to find x)
x = 9.8                  (dividing)

Hope this helps!! :)

The pH at the equivalence point will be a. less than 7.00 b. equal to 7.00 Allohalineup of a sto quivalence point of a titration
True [87]

Answer: c. greater than 7.00

Explanation: The equivalence point of a titration is when all the base is consumed by the acid. When a strong base and a strong acid react, the medium is neutralized because is produced water and salt (which won't suffer hydrolysis). How water's pH is 7, in this type of titration the pH of the equivalence point will be at pH=7. But on titration of a weak acid with a strong base, the reaction of the equivalence point produces water and the conjugate base of the acid. Because the acid is weak, their conjugate base will be strong and will suffer hydrolysis, producing hydroxyl ions, elevating the pH of the water and making it greater than 7.
