A flagpole that was originally 24 feet tall has cracked 9 feet from the ground and has fallen as if hinged. Find

The top of the flag pole touched the ground 12 feet from the base.

Since it cracked 9 feet from the base, 9 is the vertical leg of the right triangle formed. The rest of the flagpole, 24-9=15, is the hypotenuse, as it is slanted down to the ground. The missing side is the horizontal leg, which we will call b:

9²+b²=15²
81+b²=225

Subtract 81 from both sides:
81+b²-81=225-81
b²=144

Take the square root of both sides:
√b²=√144
b=12

The length of a rectangle is 2 km less than 3 times the width. If the perimeter is 68 km,What is the length of the rectangle

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 25 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the length of rectangle

y ----> the width of rectangle

we know that

The perimeter of rectangle is

$P=2(x+y)$

we have

$P=68\ km$

so

$68=2(x+y)$

simplify

$34=(x+y)$ ---- > equation A

$x=3y-2$ ---> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

$34=(3y-2)+y$

$34=4y-2$

$4y=34+2$

$4y=36$

$y=9\ km$

Find the value of x

$x=3(9)-2=25\ km$

therefore

The length of the rectangle is 25 km

Which number line correctly shows the location or approximate location of the three numbers?

GREYUIT [131]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: D. is the fourth picture.

<h2>Why?</h2>

First, we need to make these numbers entire or decimal numbers, in order to see where are they located:

$2\sqrt{5} =4.47\\\frac{6}{7}*\pi =2.69\\\sqrt{16} =4$

So, we should look for the image that shows the following order it: 2.69, 4 and 4.47

or

$\frac{6}{7} *\pi$

$\sqrt{16} =4$

$2\sqrt{5}$

Then, we just need to find the image where they are properly located/ordered:

So, the correct image is D. is the fourth picture.

Have a nice day!

Solve the following equation using algebric formulas<br> (x-y)(x+y)

photoshop1234 [79]

The simplified expression of (x + y)(x - y) is x^2 - y^2

<h3>How to solve the expression?</h3>

The expression is given as:

(x + y)(x - y)

Expand the bracket

x(x - y) + y(x -y)

Further, expand

x^2 - xy + xy - y^2

Evaluate the like terms

x^2 - y^2

Hence, the simplified expression of (x + y)(x - y) is x^2 - y^2
