You labeled the triangle wrong sides 'a' and 'b' are supposed to be the sides that make the right angle. the other side is called the hypotenuse which is the longest side which you should have labeled 'c'

so Pythagorean theorem says
a^2+b^2=c^2
so
(2x+1)^2+(11x+5)^2=(12x+1)^2
distribute
(4x^2+4x+1)+(121x^2+110x+25)=(144x^2+24x+1)
add like terms
125x^2+114x+26=144x^2+24x+1
subtract 125x^2 from both sides
114x+26=19x^2+24x+1
subtract 114x from both sides
26=19x^2-90x+1
subtract 26 from both sides
0=19x^2-90-25
factor
(x-5)(19x+5)=0
therefor x-5=0 and/or 19x+5=0
so
x-5=0 add 5 to both sides
x=5
19x+5=0
subtract 5 from both sides
19x=-5
divide both sides by 19
x=-5/19
since side legnths can't be negative, we can cross this solution out

so x=5
subtitute
1+2x
1+2(5)
1+10=11
side a=11

11x+5
11(5)+5
55+5=60
side b=60

12x+1
12(5)+1
60+1=60
side c=61
add them all up
side a+b+c=11+60+61=132=total legnth

A sphere and a cylinder have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder is 18 cm3

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

12 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the radius of the sphere and cylinder is r and the height is h. However, notice that the "height" of the sphere is the same thing as the diameter, which is 2r, so h = 2r.

The volume of a sphere is denoted by: $V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$ , where r is the radius.

The volume of a cylinder is denoted by: $V=\pi r^2h$ , where r is the radius and h is the height. Plug in 2r for h and 18 for V:

$V=\pi r^2h$

$18=\pi r^2*2r=2\pi r^3$

$\pi r^3=18/2=9$

Now plug in 9 for πr³ in the volume formula for the sphere:

$V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

$V=\frac{4}{3} *9=12$

The volume of the sphere is 12 cm³.

Line ℓ1 has the equation

aleksley [76]

Answer:

$\sqrt{2}$ units

Step-by-step explanation:

The Line 1 has equation x + y = 5 ....... (1) , and

Line 2 has equation x + y = 3 .......... (2)

Now, we have to find the perpendicular distance between line 1 and line 2.

We can say that (3,0) is a point on line 2 as it satisfies the equation (2).

Now, the perpendicular distance from point (3,0) to the line 1 will be given by the formula

$\frac{|3 + 0 - 5|}{\sqrt{1^{2}+ 1^{2}}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2}$ units (Answer)

We know that the perpendicular distance from any external point ( $x_{1},y_{1}$ ) to a given straight line ax + by + c = 0 is given by the formula $\frac{|ax_{1} + by_{1} + c|}{\sqrt{a^{2} + b^{2}}}$ .
