Answer:
x ≈ 3.1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment from the centre to the chord is a perpendicular bisector, thus
The triangle is right with base = 
x
Applying Pythagoras' identity to the right triangle, then
( x )² + 1.4² = 2.1²
x² + 1.96 = 4.41 ( subtract 1.96 from both sides )
x² = 2.45 ( multiply both sides by 4 )
x² = 9.8 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = 
≈ 3.1 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
Answer:
16x-5y
Step-by-step explanation:
X=pounds of coffee bean ($0.20 per pound)
y=pounds of coffee bean ($0.68 per pound )
We can suggest this system of equations:
x+y=120
(0.20x+0.68 y) / (x+y)=0.54 ⇒ (0.2x+0.68y)=0.54(x+y)
We can solve this system by substitution method.
x+y=120 ⇒ y=120-x
0.2x+0.68(120-x)=0.54[x+(120-x)]
0.2x+81.6-0.68x=0.54(120)
-0.48x+81.6=64.8
-0.48x=64.8-81.6
-0.48x=-16.8
x=-16.8/-0.48
x=35
y=120-x=120-35=85
Answer: the coffee mixture has 35 pounds of coffee beans sold to $0.2 a pound, and 85 pounds of coffee beans sold to $0.68 a pound, the solutions is reasonable because the price of a coffee mixture ($0.54 a pound) is greater than $0.2 and smaller than $0.68.
Answer:
a rule to know: a median divides the side into equal parts.
we know:
PR = -2a + 34
SR = 2a + 26
- based on the rule, SR is half of PR. in other words, PR is two times greater than SR.
so,
2SR = PR (now simply pluggin the expressions we have)
2(2a + 26) = -2a + 34 (solve the equation like any other equation prob.)
4a + 52 = -2a + 34
6a + 52 = 34
6a = -18
a = -3
- inorder to check if this is correct, simply reverse what we did. so pluggin the value of a to see if its correct.
