Answer:

12<x<16

Step-by-step explanation:

if c^2 > a^2 + b^2

then the triangle is obtuse

since 20 is the longest side

20^2 > x^2 + (x+4)^2

simplify

400 > x^2 +  (x+4)(x+4)

FOIL

400 > (x^2 ) + (x^2 + 4x+4x+16)

combine like terms

400 > (2x^2 + 8x+16)

divide by 2

400/2 > 2x^2  /2 + 8x/2 + 16/2

200 > x^2 + 4x +8

subtract 200 from each side

0> x^2 + 4x +8-200

0> x^2 +4x-192

Factor

0 > (x-12) ( x+16)

using the zero product property

0> x-12    0 > x+16

12>x     -16>x

x must be greater than 12

we know the longest side is 20

x+4 < 20

subtract 4

x< 16


x>12  and x < 16


12<x<16

Find the equation of the line that passes through (-18, -10) and is parallel to the line that passes through (-2, 2) and (-8, 1)
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

y = 1/6x + 7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2 ,2) and (-8, 1)

Slope=(1-2)/(-8- - 2) = (-1/-6) = 1/6

b = 2 - (1/6)(-2) = 2 - 2/6 = 2 - 1/3 = 7/3

each unit square of a 3-by-3 unit-square grid is to be colored either blue or red. for each square, either color is equally like
makkiz [27]

The probability of obtaining a grid that does not have a 2-by-2 red square 16 2/3%

probability : The probability of an event can be calculated by means of probability formula via honestly dividing the favorable quantity of outcomes by way of the total variety of viable consequences.

<u>Step-by using-step clarification:</u>

<u>given that:</u>

form are both square or circle with both equally likely :

for this reason,

P(square) = half of ; P(circle) = half of

color are either blue, pink or inexperienced with the 3 equally likely ;

P(purple) = 1/3 ; P(green) = 1/three ; P(blue) = 1/three

chance of creating a inexperienced circle :

independent probability

P(green n circle) = p(inexperienced) * p(circle)

P(green n circle) = 1/3 * half of

P(green n circle) = 1/6

= 0.16666

(0.16666 * 100%) = 16.6666%

= 16 2/3%
