Answer:

9.64ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the diagram tends to form...a right angled triangle....;

with PR = 17ft...,PQ = 14ft

then to calculate the length of QR

we use the pythagoras theorem...which is only applicable to right angled triangles

PR^2 = PQ^2 + QR^2

(17)^2 = (14)^2 + QR^2

where we make QR the subject of formula;

QR^2 = (17)^2 - (14)^2

QR = square root of( 289 - 196)

QR = square root of( 93)

;Therefore the length of QR = 9.64ft

The definition of capillarity is that points are considered as co-planar when these points are on the same plane, so it is obvious that the answer D is true because this statement is the definition of capillarity. This is shown in Figure 1.

If four points lie on the same line then there will be a plane that contains this line, therefore the definition is fulfilled. This is shown in Figure 2.

Which equation represents the line that passes through the point (1,5) with a slope of-2
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -2x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, use the point and the slope in point-slope form. Then solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -2(x - 1)

y - 5 = -2x + 2

y = -2x + 7

La medida de cada ángulo interno de un polígono regular es 162º. Hallar el número de lados.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

<em>n = 20</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

[ 180° ( n - 2 ) ] / n = 162°  

180 ( n - 2 ) = 162 n

180n - 360 = 162n

18n = 360

<em>n = 20</em>

Between 2000 and 2010, the percentage of fatal automobile accidents due to speeding decreased by 34% to 16%. What percentage of
docker41 [41]

Answer: 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2010 the percentage of fatal accidents was 16%.

This is 34% less than it was in 2000 because the text says that the 2010 percentage was 16% after being reduced by 34% from 2010.

The percentage of fatal accidents in 2000 is therefore:

= 2010 fatal percentage + Percentage reduced from 2000

= 16% + 34%

= 50%
