Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we have x^2+(x+2)^2=51^2, and
x^2+ x^2+4x+4=2x^2+4x+4=51^2. After that, we subtract 51^2 from both sides to get 2x^2+4x-2597. Using the quadratic formula (x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a in ax^2+bx+c), we get around 35 for x. We did + instead of minus after b due to that it can't be negative! x+2=37, so you save 35+37-51=around 21 feet

At the beach, Cody saw 4 times as many
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

6 pelicans

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of pelicans

Cody saw 4 times as many seagulls as pelicans:

⇒ number of seagulls = 4x

Total of 30 birds:

⇒ seagulls + pelicans = 30

⇒ 4x + x = 30

⇒ 5x = 30

⇒ x = 6

Therefore, there were 6 pelicans (and 24 seagulls).

Given that m/_a=40 and m/_b=61 find that the measure of angles x and y
brilliants [131]
Answer:
y = 140, x = 159
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle y:
we can find this angle by subtracting 40 from 180, 180-40 = 140 = y
Angle x:
Some measure of an angle plus angle b is equal to 180 degrees: 180-61 = 119
We can now find the measure of the third angle of the triangle: 180-(119+40) = 21
The third angle plus angle x is equal to 180: 180-21 = 159 = x
