In this problem you will need to use the Pythagorean theorem (c^2=a^2+b^2).
The a and b represents the two edges, while c is the diagonal side and it is called the hypotenuse. Since you already know what the hypotenuse is and what one of the sides already are you just have to use the problem: c^2-a^2=b^2. Then if you plug the data you already have into the problem you will get 10^2-6^2=b^2. That then equals 100-36=b^2. Then you subtract and get b^2=64. Then you square root both sides and you get the answer b=8.

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. Therefore, if we add up all of these angles, they will equal 180.

82 + 55 + x = 180

137 + x = 180

x = 43 degrees

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

50.24

Step-by-step explanation:

8 is the radius of the circle, so using A=πr^2, the equation would be A=(3.14*8^2)/4

(Dividing by 4 because we are solving for 1/4 of a circle, and substituting pi for 3.14)

(3.14*8^2)=200.96

200.96/4=50.24

Which products result in a difference of squares? Check all that apply.(x – y)(y – x)(6 – y)(6 – y)(3 + xz)(–3 + xz)(y2 – xy)(y2
nikitadnepr [17]

1. (3 + xz)(–3 + xz)

2. (y² – xy)(y² + xy)

3. (64y2 + x2)(–x2 + 64y2)

Explanation

The difference of 2 squares is in the form (a+b)(a-c).

(3 + xz)(–3 + xz) = (3 + xz)(xz -3)

                           = (xz + 3)(xz - 3)

                          = x²y²-3xy+3xy-9

                          =x²y² - 3²

(y² – xy)(y² + xy) = y⁴+xy³-xy³-x²y²

                          = y⁴ - x²y²

(64y2 + x2)(–x2 + 64y2)= (64y²+x²)(64y²-x²)

                                      = 4096y⁴-64y²x²+64y²x²-x⁴

                                      = 4096y⁴ - x⁴

(−t 4 −5t 3 −10t 2 )+(9t 3 +3t 2 −1)
klemol [59]

Answer:

\left(-t^4-5t^3-10t^2\right)+\left(9t^3+3t^2-1\right)=-t^4+4t^3-7t^2-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

\left(-t^4\:-5t^3\:-10t^2\:\right)+\left(9t^3\:+3t^2\:-1\right)

Remove parentheses:  (a)=a

=-t^4-5t^3-10t^2+9t^3+3t^2-1

Group like terms

=-t^4-5t^3+9t^3-10t^2+3t^2-1

Add similar elements        

=-t^4-5t^3+9t^3-7t^2-1         ∵ -10t^2+3t^2=-7t^2

Add similar elements        

=-t^4+4t^3-7t^2-1                  ∵  -5t^3+9t^3=4t^3

Thus, the equivalent expression in simplified form:

\left(-t^4-5t^3-10t^2\right)+\left(9t^3+3t^2-1\right)=-t^4+4t^3-7t^2-1
