Q cuts the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves, since the diagonals of rhombus meet at right angles.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
As given by the statement in the problem,
Q may be the middle point, which cut the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves.
In rhombus, diagonals meet at right angles.
which means that PQ = QA
x+2 = 3x - 14
Grouping the terms, we will get,
3x -x = 14+ 2
2x = 16
dividing by 2 on both sides, we will get,
x = 16/2 = 8
8+2 = 3(8) - 14 = 10 = PQ or QA
first speed --- x mph
return speed -- x+16 mph
6/x + 6/(x+16) = 1
times each term by x(x+16)
6(x+16) + 6x = x(x+16)
x^2 + 4x - 96 = 0
(x-8)(x+12) = 0
x = 8 or x is a negative
her first speed was 8 mph
her return speed was 24 mph
check:
6/8 + 6/24 = 1 , that's good!
Answer:
343.7 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The wire is anchored 190 -13 = 177 ft from the ground. That distance is opposite the given angle (31°). The measure you want is the hypotenuse of the triangle with that side and angle measures.
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the relation between the opposite side, hypotenuse, and angle is ...
Sin(angle) = Opposite/Hypotenuse
Filling in the given information, you have ...
sin(31°) = (177 ft)/hypotenuse
Solving for hypotenuse gives
hypotenuse = (177 ft)/sin(31°) ≈ 343.7 ft
The length of the guy wire should be 343.7 ft.
Answer:
Length, l = 11 ft.
Width, w = 9 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given data, the area of the rectangle = 99 ft².
Area of the rectangle = Length, l X Width, w
Here, Length, l = 7 more than twice the width
⇒ Length, l = 7 + 2w
Therefore, Area, A = 99 = (7 + 2w)w
⇒ 99 = 7w + 2w²
⇒ 2w² + 7w - 99 = 0
Solve the Quadratic equation using the formula: x = 
for the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0.
Therefore, w = 
Since, 
we get:
This gives two values of 'w', viz., w = 
, 
⇒ w = 
, -9.
We take the integer values.
If w = -9, then l = 2(-9) + 7
⇒ l = - 18 + 7 = - 11
Therefore, the length, l of the rectangle = - 11 ft.
and the width, w of the rectangle = - 9 ft.
Hence, the answer.
Answer:
b = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Apply the exponent rule that 
In this case, 
Set that equal to 
:
Apply the exponent rule that 
so now you get:
Since the base is y for both sides of the equation, just set the exponents equal to each other and solve for b.
4b = -24
divide each side by 4 to get:
b = -6
