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

Answer:

Option B. \frac{1}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The frequency is equal to the number of cycles divided by the time

Remember that

1 cycle = 1 full wave to repeat itself

In this problem

From o to 12 seconds ------> there are 2 cycles

therefore

The frequency is equal to

f=\frac{2}{12}=\frac{1}{6}

There are 53 regular pencils in the box and some colored pencils in the box. There are a total of 84 pencils. How many colored p
vodka [1.7K]

Let be "x" the number of colored pencils in the box.

According to the information given in the exercise, there are 84 pencils in the box and 53 of them are regular pencils.

Knowing this information, you can set up the following equation:

x+53=84

Finally, you have to solve for the variable "x" in order to find its value. In order to do this, you can apply the Subtraction property of equality by subtracting 53 from both sides of the equation:

\begin{gathered} x+53-(53)=84-(53) \\ x=31 \end{gathered}

The answer is: There are 31 colored pencils in the box.
