Step-by-step explanation:

we have a rectangle, that is then cut in half diagonally into 2 right-angled triangles.

in our problem it does not matter which side is the larger and which is the shorter one, because the distance calculation for both cases involve one short and one long side. the sequence does not matter.

Mary walks one short and one large side to get to the opposite corner (from D to F) :

264 + 900 = 1,164 ft

Kate walks diagonally. and that diagonal is the Hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle with a short and a long side of the rectangle.

so, Pythagoras applies :

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle), and a and b are the legs.

in our case that means

diagonal² = 264² + 900² = 69,696 + 810,000 =

= 879,696

diagonal = sqrt(879,696) = 937.9211054... ft ≈ 938 ft

so, Kate walked

1,164 - 938 = 226 ft

less than Mary.

Which expression is the factored form of x2 – 7x 10? (x 3)(x 4) (x – 3)(x – 4) (x – 2)(x – 5) (x 2)(x 5)
alexandr402 [8]

The expression x^2 -7x + 10 can be written in factored form as given by Option C: (x-2)(x-5)

<h3>How to find the factors of a quadratic expression?</h3>

If the given quadratic expression is of the form ax^2 + bx + c

then its factored form is obtained by two numbers alpha( α ) and beta( β) such that:

b = \alpha + \beta \\ ac =\alpha \times \beta

Then writing b in terms of alpha and beta would help us getting common factors out.

Sometimes, it is not possible to find factors easily, so using the quadratic equation formula can help out without any trial and error.

For this case, we're provided the expression:

x^2 -7x + 10

We can write 10 as multiple of -5 and -2 and

we can write -7 as sum of -5 and -2. Thus, we get:

x^2 -7x + 10 = x^2 -5x - 2x + 10 = x(x-5+ -2(x-5) = (x-2)(x-5)

Thus, the expression x^2 -7x + 10 can be written in factored form as given by Option C: (x-2)(x-5)

Evaluate the diagram below. Find the measures of Angles A, B, C, and D.
laiz [17]

Answer:

A: 65° B: 65° C: 125° D: 125°

Step-by-step explanation:

It is an equilateral(shown by the two dashes) and all angles in a triangle add up to 180°.

180-50 divided by 2 to give you A and B angles.

Then angled on a straight line add up to 180° so if you take angle A away from 180° you will get the answer to angle C.

The same for angle D.
