The equation for which square method is possible is x²-8=1

Step-by-step explanation:

For checking which of the equation satisfies the complete square condition, we proceed by checking each of the available options

1). x²+20x=52

Rewriting it as  x²+20x-52

This binomial expression is not a perfect square since the product of the coefficient of x²(i.e. 1) and independent constant (i.e. 52) is not a perfect square.

2). 5x² + 3x = 9

This equation can be rearranged as 5x²+3x-9=0

This binomial expression is not a perfect square since the product of the coefficient of x²(i.e. 5) and independent constant(i.e. 9) is not a perfect square.

3.) x² −8=1

This equation can be rearranged as  x²=9

Hence x= ±3

This binomial expression is a perfect square and can be done by the square method.

4). 3x² −x+17=0

This binomial expression is not a perfect square since the product of the coefficient of x²(i.e. 3) and independent constant(i.e. 17) is not a perfect square.

If p is the incenter of triangle jkl, find each measure
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

PO = 7

PM = 7

MJ = 11

∠PJO = 32°

∠KJL = 64°

PL ≈ 18.385

OL = 17

∠PLO = 22°

∠NLO = 44°

∠JKL = 72°

∠MKP = 36°

∠NKP = 36°

∠PKN = 36°

KN = 10

PL ≈ 13.04

PK ≈ 12.21

JL = 28

JK = 21

LK = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The point representing the incenter of the triangle = P

Therefore PO = PM = PN = 7

tan(32°) = PM/JM = 7/JM

∴JM = 7/(tan(32°)) ≈ 11.2

∠PJO = tan⁻¹(7/11)≈ 32.47°

∠PJO = ∠PJM = 32° similar triangles

∠KJL = ∠KJP + ∠PJO = 32 + 32 = 64°

∠KJL ≈ 64°

PL = √(7² + 17²) ≈ 18.385

OL = NL = 17 similar triangles

∠PLO = sin⁻¹(7/18.385) ≈ 22.380°

∠PLO = ∠PLN = 22°

∠NLO = ∠PNL + ∠OLP ≈ 22° + 22° ≈ 44°

∠NLO ≈ 44.380°

∠JKL = 180 - (∠KJL + ∠NLO)

∠JKL = 180° - (64° + 44°) ≈ 72°

∠JKL  ≈ 72°

∠MKP = ∠NKP = 72°/2 = 36°

∠MKP = 36°

∠NKP = 36°

∠PKN = ∠JKL - ∠MKP = 72° - 36° ≈ 36°

∠PKN  ≈ 36°

KN = KM = 10

MJ = OJ = 11

PL = √(7² + 11²) ≈ 13.04

PK = √(7² + 10²) ≈ 12.21

JL = JO + OL = 11 + 17 = 28

JK = JM + MK = 11 + 10 = 21

LK = LN + NK = 17 + 10 = 27

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Janet can make:

4/5 of a necklace in      20min

2(4/5)=8/5 ............in       40 min

3(4/5)=12/5 ............in    60 min( one hour)

12/5=2 2/5 necklaces in one hour

or 2.4n in one hour

Seven times the difference of a number and 9is equal to 2
goldfiish [28.3K]
The number . . . . . N
The difference of the number and 9 . . . N-9
Seven times that difference . . . . . . . 7(N-9)

You said that  7(N-9) = 2 .

Divide each side by  7  :  N - 9 = 2/7

Add  9  to each side:  N = 9 and 2/7
