Answer:

x = 10/√2 ≈ 7.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Comenzaremos por dividir el triángulo en dos partes y definir H, como en la figura adjunta.

Aplicando el teorema de Tales, sabemos que:

\dfrac{l/2}{H}=\dfrac{x/2}{h}\\\\\\\dfrac{l}{H}=\dfrac{x}{h}

También sabemos que, dado que el tirángulo menor es la mitad que el triángulo mayor, la relación entre áreas es:

\dfrac{A}{A_x}=\dfrac{lH/2}{xh/2}=\dfrac{lH}{xh}=2

Dado que formamos dos triángulos rectángulos, podemos despejar el valor de H como:

(l/2)^2+H^2=l^2\\\\H^2=l^2-(l/2)^2=10^2-5^2=100-25=75\\\\H^2=\sqrt{75}

Podemos entonces despejar x de la siguiente manera:

h=\dfrac{H}{l}\cdot x=\dfrac{lH}{2x}\\\\\\2x^2\dfrac{H}{l}=lH\\\\\\2x^2=l^2\\\\\\x=\dfrac{l}{\sqrt{2}}=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{2}}\approx7.07

34. For the following exercises, given each set of information, find a linear equation satisfying the conditions, if possible.
skad [1K]

Answer:

The linear equation for the line which passes through the points given as (-1,4) and (5,2), is written in the point-slope form as $y=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{13}{3}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

A condition is given that a line passes through the points whose coordinates are (-1,4) and (5,2).

It is asked to find the linear equation which satisfies the given condition.

Step 1 of 3

Determine the slope of the line.

The points through which the line passes are given as (-1,4) and (5,2). Next, the formula for the slope is given as,

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substitute 2&4 for $y_{2}$ and $y_{1}$ respectively, and $5 \&-1$ for $x_{2}$ and $x_{1}$ respectively in the above formula. Then simplify to get the slope as follows,

m=\frac{2-4}{5-(-1)}$\\ $m=\frac{-2}{6}$\\ $m=-\frac{1}{3}$

Step 2 of 3

Write the linear equation in point-slope form.

A linear equation in point slope form is given as,

$y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)$

Substitute $-\frac{1}{3}$ for m,-1 for $x_{1}$, and 4 for $y_{1}$ in the above equation and simplify using the distributive property as follows,

y-4=-\frac{1}{3}(x-(-1))$\\ $y-4=-\frac{1}{3}(x+1)$\\ $y-4=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{1}{3}$

Step 3 of 3

Simplify the equation further.

Add 4 on each side of the equation $y-4=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{1}{3}$, and simplify as follows,

y-4+4=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{1}{3}+4$\\ $y=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{1+12}{3}$\\ $y=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{13}{3}$

This is the required linear equation.

Seb made a jump of two and a half meters Kirsty's jump was 10 centimeters longer how long was Kirsty's jump
hoa [83]
First of all, a meter is equal to 100cm.
1m=100cm

Seb made a jump of two and a half meters. (2 \frac{1}{2} or 2.5)
Multiply 100 by 2.

100*2=200

Now we need the half.
What is half of 100? 
50 is half of 100.

So, add 50 to the 200.

200+50=250

Kirsty's jump was 10 centimeters longer.

Add 10 centimeters to the 250 centimeters.
250+10=260

Kirsty's jump was 260 centimeters high, or 2.55 meters.
