A walkway forms one diagonal of a square playground. The walkway is 24 m long. How long is a side of the playground?

1 answer:

6 0

The diagonal of a square can be obtained by the Pythagorean theorem and is given by:
Diagonal = root (L ^ 2 + L ^ 2)
Where,
L: Sides of the squares
Clearing L, we have:
(Diagonal) ^ 2 = L ^ 2 + L ^ 2
(Diagonal) ^ 2 = 2L ^ 2
L ^ 2 = ((Diagonal) ^ 2) / 2
L = (((Diagonal) ^ 2) / 2) ^ (1/2)
Substituting
L = (((24) ^ 2) / 2) ^ (1/2) = 16.97
answer:
The side of the playground is 16.97m long

Can you explain these words Rate, Per, Divide, Unit and the connections you see between them. Thank you very kind!!!

mestny [16]

Answer:

A rate is a little bit different than the ratio, it is a special ratio. It is a comparison of measurements that have different units, like cents and grams. A unit rate is a rate with a denominator of 1.

Per is defined as to, for, by or according to. An example of per used as a preposition is in the phrase, "as per standards," which means by the standards

Division is splitting into equal parts or groups. It is the result of "fair sharing

True or false: the equation tan^2x+1=sec^2x

zhenek [66]

ANSWER

True

EXPLANATION

The given trigonometric equation is:

${ \tan}^{2} x + 1 = { \sec}^{2} x$

We take the LHS and simplify to arrive at the RHS.

${ \tan}^{2} x + 1 = \frac{{ \sin}^{2} x}{{ \cos}^{2} x} + 1$

Collect LCM on the right hand side to get;

${ \tan}^{2} x + 1 = \frac{{ \sin}^{2} x + {\cos}^{2} x}{{ \cos}^{2} x}$

This implies that

${ \tan}^{2} x + 1 = \frac{1}{{ \cos}^{2} x} .$

${ \tan}^{2} x + 1 = {( \frac{1}{ \cos(x) }) }^{2}$

${ \tan}^{2} x + 1 = { \sec}^{2} x$

This identity has been verified .Therefore the correct answer is true.

Why would 6% as a fraction be 6/100?

dangina [55]

Well, percent (%) means per hundred, and your number is 6. Therefore, you have 6 per hundred, or 6/100. Also, when you have a percent and want to convert it into a fraction, you must divide the percent by 100, so you could just put the six over 100 since the line between the numerator and denominator basically means division.
