An art studio purchased a triangular plot of land in a town and constructed a new building whose base is in the shape of a right

triangle. The two legs have lengths of xminus4 feet and x plus 6 feet. The hypotenuse is 2 minus 18 feet. Find the lengths of the three sides.

Answer:

The sides are 30 ft, 40 ft and 50 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the triangle are as follows x - 4 , x + 6 and 2x - 18 . The hypotenuse should be 2x - 18 . The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angle triangle.

Using Pythagoras theorem the length of the sides can be found.

a² + b² = c²

(x - 4)² + (x + 6)² = (2x - 18)²

(x - 4)(x - 4) + (x + 6)(x + 6) = (2x - 18)(2x - 18)

x²- 4x - 4x + 16 + x² + 6x + 6x + 36 = 4x² - 36x - 36x + 324

2x² - 8x + 12x + 16 + 36 = 4x² - 72x +  324

2x² + 4x + 52 = 4x² - 72x +  324

2x² - 4x² + 4x + 72x + 52 - 324 = 0

-2x² + 76x - 272 = 0

2x² - 76x + 272 = 0

divide through by 2

x² - 38x + 136 = 0

find the number you can multiply to give you 136 and add to give you - 38. The number are - 34 and - 4.

x² - 4x - 34x + 136 = 0

x(x - 4) - 34(x - 4) = 0

(x - 4)(x - 34 ) = 0

x = 4 or 34

we can only use 34 since using 4 will result to negative number.

x - 4  = 34 - 4 = 30 ft

x + 6 = 34 + 6 = 40 ft

2x - 18 = 68 - 18 = 50 ft

Write an equation of a line that is parallel to y = 3x – 5 and goes through the point (3, 1).
scoray [572]
Paralell means has same lsope
y=mx+b
m=slope

given
y=3x-5
slope=3

y=3x+b
find b
(3,1)
x=3
y=1
sub and find b

1=3(3)+b
1=9+b
minus 9 both sides
-8=b

y=3x-8 is equation

Prove that if b is a square matrix then b+b^t is symmetric
WARRIOR [948]
A matrix \mathbf X is symmetric if \mathbf X=\mathbf X^\top. We have

(\mathbf B+\mathbf B^\top)^\top=\mathbf B^\top+(\mathbf B^\top)^\top=\mathbf B^\top+\mathbf B=\mathbf B+\mathbf B^\top

and so \mathbf B+\mathbf B^\top is indeed symmetric.

Can someone explain how to do "interquartile range"
Andrews [41]

What is it?

The IQR describes the middle 50% of values when ordered from lowest to highest. To find the interquartile range (IQR), ​first find the median (middle value) of the lower and upper half of the data. These values are quartile 1 (Q1) and quartile 3 (Q3). The IQR is the difference between Q3 and Q1.

How do you find IQR?

<em>Step 1: Put the numbers in order. ...</em>

<em>Step 2: Find the median. ...</em>

<em>Step 3: Place parentheses around the numbers above and below the median. Not necessary statistically, but it makes Q1 and Q3 easier to spot. ...</em>

<em>Step 4: Find Q1 and Q3. ...</em>

<em>Step 5: Subtract Q1 from Q3 to find the interquartile range.</em>
