Answer:

f. sqrt 7 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

we use Pythagoras' theorem here,

let the unknown side be x,

therefore,

=> 3² + x² = 4²

=> x² = 16 - 9

=> x = √7 m

Answer:

f. sqrt 7 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve.  We know the hypotenuse is 4 and one leg is 3.  We want to solve for the other leg.

a^2 +b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

Substituting into the equation

3^2 + b^2 = 4^2

9+b^2 = 16

Subtracting 9 from each side

9-9+b^2 = 16-9

b^2 =7

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(7)

b = sqrt(7) meters

Ilya [14]

Answer:

M=\left\{\begin{matrix}0.4x &x\leq99 \\ 0.5x &x>100 \\ \end{matrix}\right.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Function modeling</u>

Real-life situations often require the help of mathematics to model numerically what happens when the variables involved can change. It could even be used to predict some expected outcomes from those models.

The problem states Janice receives $.40 per pound when he recycles less or equal than 99 pounds of aluminum. If x is the number of recycled pounds, then the amount of money he receives is

M=0.4x

We also know that if he recycles more than 100 pounds of aluminum, the pay increases to $0.5 per pound. In that case, the amount of money is

M=0.5x

This is a case where the function is defined differently depending on the conditions of the input variable x. It's called a piecewise function. The function can be written as

M=\left\{\begin{matrix}0.4x &x\leq99 \\ 0.5x &x>100 \\ \end{matrix}\right.

Note the function is not well constructed because there is a gap for x=100 where M is not defined. If we establish that for 100 pounds the payment is $0.5, then the second piece would include x=100

The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 154 m. Its length is 2 m more than twice its breadth. What are the length and th
const2013 [10]

Step by step:

Perimeter = Summation of all sides = AB+BC+CD+DA = 2x+2+x+2x+2+x=(6x+4)

⇒6x+4=154

⇒6x=154−4

⇒\frac{150}{6x}

⇒25=x

The breadth is x=25

The length of the rectangular pool = (2×25+2)=50+2=52m

<em>breadth </em>is 25 and the<em> length </em>is 52

Hope it helps!

The perimeter of this triangle is 25 units. An angle bisector divides one side of the triangle into lengths of 2 and 3. Find the
grin007 [14]

Answer:

   8 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides on one side of the angle bisector are proportional to those on the other side. In the attached figure, that means

  AC/AB = CD/BD = 2/3

The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths, so is ...

  25 = AB + BC + AC

  25 = AB + 5 + (2/3)AB . . . . . . substituting AC = 2/3·AB. BC = 2+3 = 5.

  20 = 5/3·AB

  12 = AB

  AC = 2/3·12 = 8

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

The sum of ratio units is 2+3 = 5, so each one must stand for 25/5 = 5 units of length.

That is, the total of lengths on one side of the angle bisector (AC+CD) is 2·5 = 10 units, and the total of lengths on the other side (AB+BD) is 3·5 = 15 units. Since 2 of the 10 units are in the segment being divided (CD), the other 8 must be in that side of the triangle (AC).

Likewise, 3 of the 15 units are in the segment being divided (BD), so the other 12 units are in that side of the triangle (AB).

The remaining sides of the triangle are AB=12 and AC=8.
