Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

See below


Discussion:

This picture appears to be an application of the Pythagorean theorem. That is, the sum of the squares of the legs equals  the square of he hypotenuse. Let's check this out.

Does

(leg1)^2 + (leg2)^2   = (hypotenuse)^2

5^2       + 5^2          = (5 sqrt(2)) ^ 2   ?         => number from diagram

25          + 25           =  5 * 5 * (sqrt(2) ) ^ 2   =>   as (sqrt(2)) ^ 2 = 2

25 + 25 = 5*5*2 = 50 =>

50 = 50.      

Indeed.


Note: this is an  isosceles triangle as the base angles equal 45 degrees.  It illustrates that in an isosceles triangle the length of the hypotenuse is the length of either leg times the sqrt(2)



Thank you,

MrB

HELPPPPPP!!!<br><br> Rule: y=x-1/4
Nimfa-mama [501]

Step-by-step explanation:

if x=1/4 then y=1/4-1/4=0

if x=13/4 then y=13/4-1/4=12/4=3

if x=2 then y=2-1/4=8/4-1/4=7/4=1 3/4

Job a pays $9.95 per hour, 40 hours per week.

Job A pays better


there are roughly 52 weeks in a year so multiply that by 40 to get the total hours worked in a year. = 2,080

2,080 hours worked per year multiplied by the hourly pay 9.95 = 20,696

Job A pays $20,696 per year

The largest solution of x2−x=6 is
trapecia [35]
The left side of the equation subtracts x from 2x. 
That means 1x, or just simply x, is left on the left side. 
We now have this:   x = 6 
So, x is 6. Hope this helps!
