Answer:

It is 27.35 ft up the house

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of the right triangle is 28  and the base is 6

We can use the pythagorean theorem to find how high it is

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + b^2 = 28^2

36 + b^2 = 784

Subtract 36 from each side

36-36 + b^2 = 784-36

b^2 = 748

Take the square root of each side

b =sqrt(748)

b =27.34958866

It is 27.35 ft up the house

2. If AB = 4x + 9. BC = 5x + 2, and AC = 56, then find the value for . AB, BC.<br> A<br> B
inysia [295]

Answer:

AB=29; BC=27

Step-by-step explanation:

So they told us AB=4x+9 and that BC=5x+2, and AC=56 , now to help with the question you can draw this information on a number line. Now on a number you can see that basically AC=AB+BC.

So you would write it as such,,

4x+9+5x+2=56

Combine like terms

9x+11=56

Now you have to isolate the x by itself but first get rid of the 11.

9x+11-11=56-11

You would get

9x=45

Here you can divide 9 by both sides to isolate x.

9x/9=45/9

{x=5}

Now to find the value for both substitue x in the equations for both

1. AB=4x+9 where x is 5

4(5)+9 =AB

20+9 =AB

29=AB

You would do the same with BC

2. BC= 5x+2 where x is 5

5(5)+2= BC

25+2= BC

27=BC

If you want to check your answers you can just substitute x for 5 in the first equation we did where AC=AB+BC

Im so confused- please help
Orlov [11]

Step-by-step explanation:

a/q

x + x - 3 + 2x - 9 = 36

4x - 12 = 36

4x = 36 + 12 = 48

x = 48/4 = 12

x = 12

so,

x = 12

x - 3 = 12 - 3 = 9

2x - 9 = 2(12) - 9 = 15

we know,

area = 1/2 × base × height

so,

→ 1/2 × 12 × 9

→ 1 × 6 × 9

→ 54 inches.
