See the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that
in the triangle ABC
applying the Pythagorean theorem
AC²=AB²+BC²
AC=8 cm
AB=apothem
BC=9.4/2-----> 4.7 cm

AB²=AC²-BC²-----> 8²-4.7²-----> 64-22.09------> AB²=41.91
AB=√41.91-------> 6.47 cm---------> 6.5 cm
apothem=6.5 cm

the answer is
6.5 cm

Together, Steve and Tom sold 104 raffle tickets for their school. Steve sold 17 more than twice as many raffle tickets as Tom. H

Svetllana [295]

Tom = x
steve = 2x + 17

x + 2x + 17 would then simplify to 3x + 17

104 = 3x + 17
87 = 3x
29 = x

then substitute x into tom and steve

steve = 75 tickets
tom = 29 tickets

19. A carpenter is putting a skylight in the roof. If the roof measures (10x + 9) by (7x + 7) and the skylight measures (x + 5)

velikii [3]

19) 67x²+115x+48
20) (w+8)²
21) (d+11)²
22) (r+7)(r-7)

Explanation:
19) The area of the ceiling is given by (10x+9)(7x+7). Multiplying we have:
10x*7x+7*10x+9*7x+9*7
=70x²+70x+63x+63
=70x²+133x+63

The area of the skylight is given by (x+5)(3x+3). Multiplying we have:
x*3x+3*x+5*3x+5*3
=3x²+3x+15x+15
=3x²+18x+15

To find the remaining area of the ceiling we subtract:
(70x²+133x+63)-(3x²+18x+15)
=70x²+133x+63-3x²-18x-15
=67x²+115x+48

20) To factor, we want to find factors of c, 64, that sum to b, 16. 8*8=64 and 8+8=16; therefore we have:
(w+8)(w+8)
Since this is the same binomial twice, we write it as (w+8)²

21) Again we look for factors of c, 121, that sum to b, 22. 11*11=121 and 11+11=22, so:
(d+11)(d+11)
Since this is the same binomial twice, we have (d+11)²

22) Factors of -49 that sum to 0 (there is no r term, just r²): -7*7=-49 and -7+7=0, so:
(r-7)(r+7)

Write the equation 2y - 4x = 5 in the form y = mx + b

KatRina [158]

2y - 4x = 5.....add 4x to both sides
2y = 4x + 5....divide both sides by 2
y = 2x + 5/2 <==

Which process will create a figure that is NOT congruent to the figure shown? Every point is moved 3 units to the right. Every p

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Every point is moved so that it is 2/3 as far from the y-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

Translation and reflection are "rigid" motions. They do not change the size or shape of the figure, so the resulting figure will be congruent with the original.

Dilation by a factor of 2/3 changes the size, so will not result in a congruent figure.

_____

Here the dilation is in the x-direction only. It is not a transformation we usually are interested in.
