To find the length of the side of the square, we just need to find the distance between the two endpoints. This problem can quickly be solved by using the distance formula, but for those who are not familiar with it, we can simply solve it by analyzing a triangle.

Take a look at the diagram below. We are interested in x. To find this we have created a right triangle. The horizontal component is just the distance between the x coordinates of the two points while the vertical component is the distance between the y coordinates.

The horizontal component is 9 and the vertical component is 5. We can now get x by using the pythagorean theorem:

x^{2}= 9^{2} + 5^{2} =81+25=106
x= \sqrt{106} which is approximately equal to 10.30 units.

ANSWER: 
The length of the side of the square measures 10.30 units.

What is the length and width of a 864 square feet
spayn [35]
The area doesn't tell you the dimensions. There are an infinite number of different answers, all with the same area but different dimensions.
Here are a few:
1 ft by 864 ft
2 ft by 432 ft
3 ft by 288 ft
4 ft by 216 ft
8 ft by 108 ft
16 ft by 54 ft
24 ft by 36 ft
27 ft by 32 ft.

The area of each of these is 864 square feet.

The length of a rectangle is 3 times the width. If the perimeter is to be greater than 56 meter. What are the lossible values fo
lidiya [134]

Answer:

w > 7

Step-by-step explanation:

L = 3w

2L + 2w > 56

sub for L

2(3w) + 2w > 56

6w + 2w > 56

8w > 56

w > 7


Check: L = 3(8)

L = 24

2(24) + 2(8) > 56

48 + 16 > 56

64 > 56

Write expression as a sine or cosine of an angle.<br>cos 94° cos 18° + sin 94° sin 18° ​
MArishka [77]
<h3>Answer:  cos(76)</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

The original expression is of the pattern cos cos + sin sin. This pattern matches the second identity in the hint. Specifically, we'll say the following:

cos(A - B) = cos(A)cos(B) + sin(A)sin(B)

cos(A)cos(B) + sin(A)sin(B) = cos(A - B)

cos(94)cos(18) + sin(94)sin(18) = cos(94 - 18)

cos(94)cos(18) + sin(94)sin(18) = cos(76)

----------

We can verify this by use of a calculator. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

  • cos(94)cos(18) + sin(94)sin(18) = 0.24192
  • cos(76) = 0.24192

Both expressions give the same decimal approximation, so this helps confirm the two expressions are equal. You could also use the idea that if x = y, then x-y = 0. Through this method, you'll subtract the left and right hand sides and you should get (very close to) zero.

If the sales tax in your city is 11.4%, and an item costs $160 before tax, how much tax would you pay on that item? Round to the
Oksana_A [137]
First we calculate the tax on the item:
11.4%($160) = 11.4(160)/100 = 18.24
hence the tax for the item is $18.24
The total price for the item would be:
160 + 18.24 = 178.24
hence the total price for the item including tax is:
$<span>178.24</span>

Help me out pls and thank you very much !!!!!!!
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a rectangle, the opposite sides are congruent.

So the lengths of DG and EF are equal

3x + 5 = 29

3x = 29 - 5

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x = 8
