About 12.56 units. 
Solve for x by plugging in values into Pythagorean theorem.
a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2}
x^{2} +(x+12)^{2} = 34^{2}
Simplify
2x^{2} + 24x+144 = 1156
Subtract 144 from both sides
2x^{2} + 24x = 1012
divide both sides by 2
x^{2} + 12x = 506
complete the square
x^{2} + 12x + 36 = 506 +36 . = (x+6)^2 = 542
take the square root of both sides.
x+6 = 23.28
subtract by 6 to get  about 17.28 for x.
Plug in values for x to get distance traveled on outside of the yard.
17.28 + (17.28 +12) = 46.56
subtract 34 from the length to get the difference in travel. 46.56-34=12.56

One of the x-intercepts of the parabola represented by the equation y = 3x^2 + 6x − 10 is approximately (1.08, 0).
Igoryamba
3x^2 + 6x - 10 = 0

x  = [-6 +/- sqrt(^2 - 3*3*-10)] / 2*3

=  1.08 and -3.08

Other x -intercept is (-3.08,0)

I would say (I am abbreviating square root to sqrt)

1. 4 sqrt(8488) = 4 sqrt(2x2x2122) = 8 sqrt(2122)

2. 3 sqrt(6936) = 3 sqrt(6x34x34) = 102 sqrt (6)

3. 2 sqrt(8648) = 2 sqrt(2x2x2162) = 4 sqrt(2162)

PLEASE HELP!! (Give reasonable answer)
gladu [14]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation: You just multiplying 25 with 10 and w which can be simplified as 24(w+10) and adding with the 13.5 x 10 and 13.5 x w, which can be simplified as 13.5(10+w)

How to graph -3x+y=3
nalin [4]
For this question I would put the problem into slope-intercept form or y=mx+b. So add 3x to both sides so that the equation becomes y=3x+3 Then this equation is easier to graph. the y-intercept is 3 so there is a point at (0,3). and the slope is 3 so you would go over 1 up 3. Then connect those points and you have finished the graph. Hope this helps.
