A square is cut into two congruent triangles by drawing the diagonal between two corners. If the area of each triangle is 162 cm

,what is the length of the side of the square?

Ok so area=162
since the triangles sides were cut out of a square, base=height
area=1/2bh=162
b=h
area=1/2b^2=162
times 2 both sides
b^2=324
sqrt both sides
b=18=h
the legnth of one side is 18cm
see diagram

another way, is total aera of square=areas of both triangles=162+162=324
remember area of square=side^2 so
324=side^2
sqrt both sides
18=side

answer is 18cm

What should be done to these equations in order to solve a system of equations by elimination?

morpeh [17]

Answer

You can multiply the first equation by 4 and the second equation by 3.

You can multiply the first equation by 4/3.

You can multiply the first equation by 3.

Explanation

When solving a system of equations by elimination, you want to add or subtract the equations to "get rid" of a variable.

To do that, one of the variables in both equations have to have the same coefficient.

The first answer possible gives x the coefficient of 12 for both equations. You would get 12x+4y=52 and 12x-9y=39. You could subtract those equations to get 13y=13.

The second way gives x the coefficient of 4. You would multiply the first equation by 4/3 to get 4x+4/3y=52/3. You can subtract to get one variable, and then solve from there. Although, multiplying for 4/3 is annoying, so it's not suggested.

You can also "get rid" the the y. Multiply the first equation by 3 to get 9x+3y=39. You can add these equations. When you add 9x+3y=39 and 4x-3y=13 you get 13x=52.

Consider the parabola r(t)equalsleft angle at squared plus 1 comma t right angle, for minusinfinityless thantless thaninfinity

kodGreya [7K]

Given:- $r(t)=< at^2+1,t>$ ; $-\infty < t< \infty$ , where a is any positive real number.

Consider the helix parabolic equation :

$r(t)=< at^2+1,t>$

now, take the derivatives we get;

$r{}'(t)=$

As, we know that two vectors are orthogonal if their dot product is zero.

Here, $r(t) and r{}'(t)$ are orthogonal i.e, $r\cdot r{}'=0$

Therefore, we have ,

$< at^2+1,t>\cdot < 2at,1>=0$

$< at^2+1,t>\cdot < 2at,1>=$

$=2a^2t^3+2at+t$

$2a^2t^3+2at+t=0$

take t common in above equation we get,

$t\cdot \left (2a^2t^2+2a+1\right )=0$

⇒ $t=0$ or $2a^2t^2+2a+1=0$

To find the solution for t;

take $2a^2t^2+2a+1=0$

The number $D = b^2 -4ac$ determined from the coefficients of the equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0.$

The determinant $D=0-4(2a^2)(2a+1)$ $=-8a^2\cdot(2a+1)$

Since, for any positive value of a determinant is negative.

Therefore, there is no solution.

The only solution, we have t=0.

Hence, we have only one points on the parabola $r(t)=< at^2+1,t>$ i.e <1,0>

The circles are identical. What is the circumference of each circle? Circle 1: radius of 2x; Circle 2: diameter of 2x+3. A. 3/2

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

C=6π

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, two circles are identical. The radius of first circle is 2x and the diameter of other circle is 2x+3.

If identical, it means that the radius of both circles are same i.e.

$2x=\dfrac{2x+3}{2}\ \ (\because\ r=\dfrac{D}{2}, d=\text{diameter})\\\\4x=2x+3\\\\2x=3\\\\x=1.5$

Radius of both circles is 2(1.5)=3

The circumference of a circle is given by :

$C=2\pi r\\\\C=2\pi (3)\\\\C=6\pi$

So, the circumference of each circle is 6π.
