Answer: The length of the indicated segment is 14.45 units.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the length of the indicated segment.

From the figure, we note that

A chord is bisected by the radius of the circle that makes a right-angled triangle with hypotenuse measuring 16.1 units and the other two sides measures x units and 7.1 units.

Using Pythagoras theorem, we get

$x^2+7.1^2=16.1^2\\\\\Rightarrow x^2+50.41=259.21\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=259.21-50.41\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=208.8\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm\sqrt{208.8}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm14.45.$

Since x is the length of side of a triangle, so we get

x = 14.45.

Thus, the length of the indicated segment is 14.45 units.

The red square means the triangle is a right triangle so you can solve for x using the Pythagorean theorem.

x = √(16.1^2 - 7.1^2)

x = √(259.21 - 50.41)

x = √208.8

x = 14.4499

Rounded to the nearest tenth x = 14.4

Suppose Quadrilaterals A and B are both squares. Are A and B necessarily scaled

nevsk [136]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle can be scaled into a square + rhombus. The difficult part is a trapezoid. If you can scale the sides, then the answer will remain yes because you would just make the top side longer both ways to straighten it and shorten the side lines.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use the sine/ tangent ratios to solve for x and y

note sin60° = $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$ and tan60° = $\sqrt{3}$

sin60° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{3\sqrt{6} }{y}$

ysin60° = 3 $\sqrt{6}$

y × $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$ = 3 $\sqrt{6}$

multiply both sides by 2 and divide by $\sqrt{3}$

y v= 6 $\sqrt{\frac{6}{3} }$ = 6 $\sqrt{2}$

tan60° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{3\sqrt{6} }{x}$

xtan60° = 3 $\sqrt{6}$

x × $\sqrt{3}$ = 3 $\sqrt{6}$

divide both sides by $\sqrt{3}$

x = 3 $\sqrt{\frac{6}{3} }$ = 3 $\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure below shows a portion of the graph of the function $j\left(x\right) \ = \ 4^{x-2}$ , hence the average rate of change (slope of the blue line) between the $x$ and $x+h$ is

$\text{Average rate of change} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \\ \\ \rule{3.7cm}{0cm} = \dsiplaystyle\frac{f\left(x+h\right) \ - \ f\left(x\right)}{\left(x \ + \ h \right) \ - \ x} \\ \\ \\ \rule{3.7cm}{0cm} = \displaystyle\frac{f\left(x + h\right) \ - \ f\left(x\right)}{h} \\ \\ \\ \rule{3.7cm}{0cm} = \displaystyle\frac{4^{x+h-2} \ - \ 4^{x-2}}{h} \\ \\ \\ \rule{3.7cm}{0cm} = \displaystyle\frac{4^{x-2+h} \ - \ 4^{x-2}}{h}$

$\\ \\ \\ \rule{3.7cm}{0cm} = \displaystyle\frac{\left(4^{x-2}\right)\left(4^{h}\right) \ - \ 4^{x-2}}{h} \\ \\ \\ \rule{3.7cm}{0cm} = \displaystyle\frac{\left(4^{x-2}\right)\left(4^{h} \ - \ 1 \right)}{h}$
