Answer:

x =8

y = 4sqrt(2)

z = 4sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest one to calculate is x

If it is a 45 -45-90 degree triangle then AB = BC=x

Since AB =8  then BC =8  and x=8

The next easiest to calculate is z

If it is a 45 -45-90 degree triangle then AD = BD=z

Using the Pythagorean theorem

z^2 +z^2 = 8^2

2z^2 =64

Divide by 2

x^2 = 32

Taking the square root of each side

z = sqrt(16)sqrt(2)

z=4sqrt(2)

Finally, we can find y

If it is a 45 -45-90 degree triangle then BD = DC

BD =z =4 sqrt(2) = DC = y

Therefore y =4 sqrt(2)

What is the inverse property of the complex number 9-4i
Zina [86]

Answer:

when added to the original number, would equate to zero. Another term this may be known as is the additive identity. The additive inverse is simply:

(a + bi) = -(a + bi)

Given: 9 - 4i

-(9 - 4i) = -9 + 4i

Therefore, the answer is B.

A) 169p⁴qr÷ (-13pq³r)<br> b) 3(x +2y) +5x - (y + 7)<br> c (3x –4)( 5x- 1)
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

A)  -13p^33q^-2   or -13p^3/q^2

B)  8x + 5y - 7

C)  15x^2 -23x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 169/(-13) = -13     p^4/p = p^3    q/q^3  = 1/q^2  which can be written as q^-2 and r/r is 1. So if you put this all together you get  -13p^33q^-2   or -13p^3/q^2

B)  3(x +2y) + 5x - (y + 7)

     3x + 6y + 5x - y - 7   distributive property

     3x + 5x + 6y - y  -7   combine like terms

      8x + 5y - 7              Answer

C)  (3x-4) (5x - 1)    Foil multiply the first terms in each parenthesis. the outer terms, the inner terms and the last terms

(3x)(5x) + (3x)(-1) + (-4)(5x)  + (-4)(-1)

15x^2  -3x - 20x + 4  

15x^2 -23x + 4

What is an algebraic expression to find the number of squares in the border of a 75x75 grid?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Well, if the grip is 75 x 75, you can rule out that the grid is 75 squares in each border.

Step-by-step explanation:

75 x 75 = a x b

a= horizontal side lengths

b= vertical side lengths

Rule that a= 75 squares and b= 75 squares.
