Answer:
9.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean Theorem
a² + b² = c²
Plug in the knowns
a² + 22² = 24²
Subtract 22² from both sides
a² = 24² - 22²
a² = 576 - 484
a² = 92
Take the square root of both sides
a = 9.591663046625438
Rounded
a = 9.6 ft
You are told that sprinklers run for the same amount of time. lets refer to this time as T.
you are told that 4 sprinkles run one at a time for 50 minutes total. that means that T should be 50/4 = 12.5 minutes = 12 minutes and 30 seconds
F(x) = 1, so we make the entire equation equal 1.
1 = sqrt(x) + 7
To make x by itself subtract 7 from both sides
-6 = sqrt(x)
Square both sides to remove sqrt from x.
36 = x
The value of x is 36
