Answer:

A) x = 9.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : A triangle

To find : What is the value of x to the nearest tenth.

Solution : We have given a triangle with hypotenuse = 12 units,

Opposite side = 7 , adjacent = x.

By the Pythagorean  theorem :

(hypotenuse )² = ( adjacent )² + ( opposite)².

Plug the values

(12)² = ( x )² + ( 7)².

144 =  ( x )² +  49.

On subtracting both sides by 49.

144 -49 =  ( x )²

95 =  ( x )²

Taking square root

√95 = x.

x = 9.7

Therefore, A) x = 9.7

Use the Pythagorean theorem. The equation for this right triangle would be a^2+b^2=c^2. Since you have one leg and the hypotenuse, you can plug these into the equation. It would be 7^2+b^2=12^2. Do the exponents. You will get 49+b^2=144. You need to get b by itself so subtract each side by 49. You get the equation b^2=95. Square root each side to get b=9.746. This rounds to 9.7. So the answer is A. Hope this helps! ;)

-6x+5y=1 and 6x+4y=10.substitution
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

(23/27, 11/9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the simultaneous equation;

-6x+5y=1..... 1

6x+4y=10.... 2

Add both equations

5y + 4y = 1+10

9y = 11

y = 11/9

Substitute y = 11/9 into 1;

From 1;

-6x+5y=1.

-6x + 5(11/9) = 1

-6x + 55/9 = 1

-6x = 1- 55/9

-6x = (9-55)/9

-6x = -46/9

x = -46/-54

x = 23/27

The solution to the system of equation is (23/27, 11/9)

A student measures the mass of an 8 cm^3 block of confectioner’s (powdered) sugar to be 4.49 grams. Determine the density of pow
melomori [17]

Answer:

The density of powdered sugar is 0.561 g/cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that A student measures the mass of an 8 cm^3 block of confectioner’s (powdered) sugar to be 4.49 grams

Mass of block of confectioner’s (powdered) sugar = 4.49 grams

Volume of block = 8 cubic cm

We are supposed to find  the density of powdered sugar.

So, Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

Density = \frac{4.49}{8}

Density =0.561 g/cm^3

Hence the density of powdered sugar is 0.561 g/cm^3
