Answer:
the bows are 8 inches in length
Step-by-step explanation:
he has <em>divided</em><em> </em>the ribbon into 9 equal parts so 72÷9 is the equation which equals 8 inches for every bow
By the Pythagorean theorem,
.. x^2 +(x -46)^2 = (x +4)^2
.. 2x^2 -92x +2116 = x^2 +8x +16
.. x^2 -100x +2100 = 0
.. (x -50)^2 -400 = 0
.. x = 50 ±20 . . . . . only x=70 makes any sense in the problem
The height, x, of the tree is 70 meters.
Answer:
r = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
12 - 1/5r = 2r + 1
12 - 0.2r = 2r + 1
12 - 0.2r + 0.2r = 2r + 0.2r + 1
12 = 2.2r + 1
12 - 1 = 2.2r + 1 - 1
2.2r = 11
2.2r ÷ 2.2 = 11 ÷ 2.2
r = 5
