3 RIGHT TRIANGLES

1 big right triangle is divided into 2 smaller ones. Medium and small.

<span> a.How far is the spot on the beach from the parking lot? </span>

Medium triangle: long leg = 32 m ; short leg = x

Small triangle: long leg = x ; short leg = 18m

32/x = x/18

32*18 = x*x

576 = x²

√576 = √x²

24 = x    

Parking lot to the beach is 24 meters.

<span>b. How far will he have to walk from the parking lot to get to the refreshment stand?</span>

Use Pythagorean theorem:

Medium triangle: long leg = 32 m ; short leg = 24 m ; hypotenuse = ?

32²+ 24² = c²

1024 + 576 = c²

1600 = c²

√1600 = √c²

40 m = c

Parking lot to refreshment stand is 40 meters.

Police can estimate the speed of a vehicle before the brakes are applied using the formula 0.75d=(s^2)/(30.25) where s is the sp
Jobisdone [24]
The answer is C.

0.75(150) =   \frac{ s^{2}}{30.25}

112.5 * 30.25 =  s^{2}

3413.125 =  s^{2}

s = 58.422

Help me solve this problem please
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

JL = 54

Step-by-step explanation:

JL = JK + KL

JK = KL

8x+11 =14x-1

12 = 6x

x = 2

substitute for x:

8(2)+11 + 14(2)-1 = JL

JL = 16+11+28-1

JL = 54

How do I solve this using the system of equations?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

length: 16 m; width: 13 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Write each of the statements as an equation. You know that the formula for the perimeter is ...

P = 2(L +W)

so one of your equations is this one with the value of P filled in:

• 2L + 2W = 58

The other equation expresses the relation between L and W:

• L = W +3 . . . . . . . . the length is 3 meters greater than the width

There are many ways to solve such a system of equations. Since you have an expression for L, it is convenient to substitute that into the first equation to get ...

2(W+3) +2W = 58

4W +6 = 58 . . . . . . . simplify

4W = 52 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6

W = 13 . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 4

We can use the expression for L to find its value:

L = 13 +3 = 16

The length is 16 meters; the width is 13 meters.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of angles of parallelogram=360 degrees

adjacent angles add up to 180 degrees (supplementary angles)

Angle A=104 (DAB=104)

Angle D=180-104=76 degrees (angle ADB)

Angle B=60 degrees

Angle C=180-60=120 (DCB)
