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

Mark and Henry win some money and share it in the ratio 4:3. Mark gets £9 more than Henry. How much did they get altogether?​
stepladder [879]
Answer:

A tiny guess, but I believe the answer is 63.

Explanation:

Well, since Mark would’ve had the 4 in the 4:3, that would mean each part would be 9 dollars.

So, if there seven parts in total, that would mean it’s...

7 • 9
63

X^2+10x+19=0 complete the square PLEASE EXPLAIN
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

In the form ax^2+bx+c

a x c should equal two factors of b

However, in this equation

1 x 19 has no factors that = 10

so you must use the Quadratic Formula which is,

x = \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

so the answer should be

x = \frac{-10+-\sqrt{10^2-4(1)(19)} }{2(1)}

x = \frac{-10+-\sqrt{24} }{2}

x = \frac{-10+2\sqrt{6} }{2}      and    x = \frac{-10-2\sqrt{6} }{2}

True or false, rotational symmetry is the quality a design has if it maintains all characteristics when it is rotated about a po
Andru [333]
<h2>True.</h2><h2 />

In fact, if a design still looks the same after some rotation, then it has Rotational Symmetry. In this context, this design can be an object, a figure, a thing, etc. So these characteristics is the typical quality or feature of this object, figure or thing. An example of rotational symmetry is the Ferris Wheel when it rotates about the center.

HELP A GIRLL OUT I GAVE YOU ALL MY POINTS!! HELPP! 1. a. What is James’s new texting speed if he practices for only 1 month? ___
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

1. a. His new texting speed after one month is 2 + 1/2 = 2.5 characters per second.

b. After two months it will be 2 + (1/2) * 2 = 3 characters / second.

c. Answer is 2 + 1/2 * 3 = 3.5 characters/second/.

2. The answer is s = 1/2m + 2

3. To solve for m we write 8 = 1/2m + 2 → 6 = 1/2m → m = 12 months.

4. 10r + 4 = 8 → 10r = 4 → r = 0.4

5. The variable r represents the rate she must increase her texting speed by per month.

6. A scenario could be "Allison has 37 marbles in a jar. She took out 5 from the jar and wants to divide the remaining amount equally among her 8 friends. How many marbles does each friend get?".
