You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the third side AB (Identified as "x" in the figure attached in the problem), which says that in a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs:
a² = b²+c²
As we can see the figure, the triangle does not have an angle of 90°, but it can be divided into two equal parts, leaving two triangles with a right angle. We already have the values of the hypotenuse and a leg in triangle "A" , so we can find the value of the other leg:
b = √(a²-c²) b = √(10²-4²) b = 9.16
With these values, we can find the hypotenuse in the triangle "B": x = √b²+c² x = √(9.16)²+(4)² x = 10
The height is 4 cm and the base is 8 cm.
Hello.
First off, you can factor this equation to find the missing x-intercept.
y = x² + 8x + 12
y = (x + 6)(x + 2)
Then, you can use the zero product property to find the x values.
x + 6 = 0 x + 2 = 0
- 6 - 6 - 2 - 2
x = -6 x = -2
As an ordered pair: (-6, 0) and (-2, 0)
Thus, your answer is x = -6, -2.
Price of Brand A toothpaste for 17.4 ounces = <span>$5.22
</span>Price of Brand A toothpaste for 1 ounce = $5.22/17.4 = 0.3
Price of Brand B toothpaste for 26.6 ounces = $6.65
Price of Brand B toothpaste for 1 ounces = $6.65/26.6 = 0.25
So, if we see the price for per ounce of brand A and B, price of Brand B per ounce is less than brand A.
and if we find the difference between the prices of both = 0.3 - 0.25 = 0.05
Thus, the correct answer is "D", <span>Brand B is the better deal, because it costs $0.05 less per ounce than Brand A".</span>
