Elan Coil [88]3 years ago

The Pythagorean Theorem states that for right triangles:

a^2=b^2+c^2

a= the hypotenuse

b and c equals the other two sides.

In this case we are given the hypotenuse so we can rearrange the equation to look like this b^2=a^2-c^2 (I subtracted c^2 from both sides). I know a and c so I can solve for b.

We get rid of a square by implementing a square root on both sides and get:

b=sqrt(a^2-c^2) .... b=sqrt( (sqrt(34))^2 - 3^2)

b= sqrt(25) ..... b=5

Ryan wanted to know the height of a cell-phone tower neighboring his property he walked 80 feet from the base of the tower and m
spin [16.1K]
Since Ryan is 5 feet tall, we will assume that the height of the cell-phone tower is x + 5.
Since the given is 54 degrees. 
Tan 54degrees = x/80(feet)
x=80(tan54)
x=110
To finalize the answer, we will add up the height of the cell-phone tower to the answer. 
110 + 5 = 115 feet
So the answer to the question is that the height of the cell-phone tower is 115 ft.

In how many ways can you choose 2 side dishes out of 8
Alina [70]
The first choice can be any one of the 8 side dishes.
               For each of these . . .
The 2nd choice can be any one of the remaining 7.

     Total number of ways to pick 2 out of 8 = (8 x 7) = 56 ways .

BUT ...

That doesn't mean you can get 56 different sets of 2 side dishes.

For each different pair, there are 2 ways to choose them . . .
(first A then B), and (first B then A).  Either way, you wind up with (A and B).

So yes, there are 56 different 'WAYS' to choose 2 out of 8.
But there are only 28 different possible results, and 2 'ways'
to get each result.

player A led a baseball league in runs batted in for the 2006 regular season. player B. who came in second player to A, had 13 f
Alla [95]
A= player A runs batted in
b= player B runs batted in= a-13

250= a + b
substitute b= a-13 for b

250= a + (a-13)
combine like terms
250= 2a -13
add 13 to both sides
263= 2a
divide both sides by 2
131.5= a

Substitute a= 131.5 into equation
250= a + b
250= 131.5 + b
subtract 131.5 from both sides
118.5= b

Hope this helps! :)

Identify three solutions of the graph shown. Please help
barxatty [35]
From the graph, we can see that the graph crosses the x-axis at the point (1.5, 0) the graph also passes through point (1, 1) and the graph crosses the y-axis at the point (0, 3).

Therefore, points (1.5, 0), (1, 1) and (0, 3) are some of the solutions of the graph.
