Answer:

AC = 7.12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle has two legs and a hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is opposite the right angle. As Angle C is the right angle, then the triangle can be constructed as shown in the picture attached. The sides of the triangle have a relationship known as the Pythagorean Theorem a² + b² = c². In the theorem, the legs of the triangle are a and b while the hypotenuse is c. Substitute a = x, b = x+6, and c = √52. Simplify and solve.

a² + b² = c²

x² + (x+6)² = √52²

x² + x² + 12x + 36 = 52

2x² + 12x - 16 = 0

You can use the quadratic formula to solve by substituting a = 2, b = 12, and c = -16.

The quadratic formula is x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}.

Substitute and you'll have:

x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} =\frac{-12+/-\sqrt{12^2-4(2)(-16)} }{2(2)}=\frac{-12+/-\sqrt{144+128} }{4)}

\frac{-12+/-\sqrt{272} }{4}=\frac{-12+/-16.5 }{4} = 1.12, 7.13

Only 1.12 is a solution since 7.13 will not satisfy the Pythagorean theorem

Side AC is 6 units longer than side BC. This means x = BC and AC = x + 6.

AC = 1.12 + 6 = 7.12

Can someone please help
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

(x+5) and (x-7).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

x^2-2x-35

We need to write it in factored form.

We know that,

7×5 = 35 and 7-5 = 2

So,

x^2-2x-35=x^2-7x+5x-35\\\\=x(x-7)+5(x-7)\\\\=(x+5)(x-7)

Hence, the required factors are (x+5) and (x-7).

Which equation represents a line that has the slope 1/3 and passes through the point (-2,1)
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

y - 1 = (1/3)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here m = 1/3 and (-2, 1) is a point on the line.  The appropriate equation is

y - k = m(x - h), where (h, k) is the pt on the line.

Subbing the known values, we get:

y - 1 = (1/3)(x + 2)

Need help ASAP find the value of x
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

32 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angles of a triangle always add up to 180.

Subtract the sum of 106 and 42 from 180.

180-(106+42)

180-(148)

32

x is equal to 32 degrees.
