Which equation is an identity?

2 answers:

3w + 8 - w = 4w - 2(w - 4)
is an identity
3w-w + 8 = 4w - 2w + 8
2w + 8 = 2w + 8
2w - 2w = 8 - 8
0 = 0
zero equal to zero implies that any value of w satisfies the statement 3w + 8 - w = 4w - 2(w - 4) hence it is an identity.

BC = 6x + 6, AB = 8 +9, and AC = 141. Find BC

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AB and BC creates AC, we can add them together to find x, then use that to find the value of BC.

8x+9+6x+6=141 [combine like terms]

14x+15=141 [subtract both sides by 15]

14x=126 [divide both sides by 14]

x=9

Now that we have found the value of x, we can plug that into BC.

6(9)+6 [multiply]

54+6 [add]

Now, we know the length of BC is 60.

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The semi-major axis is 1/2 of the major axis, a, so a = 11/2.

John wants to measure the width of a stream using the methods he has learned in geometry. He puts a stake in the ground opposite

otez555 [7]

John's method to determine the width of the stream uses the knowledge

that the tangent of 60° is approximately 1.7.

The proper sequence John would use to find the width of the stream are;

Step 1; John drives a stake opposite the tree to establish a line between two points

Step 2; John uses a compass to walk away from the stakes at a right angle

Step 3; On the path John walks until he finds a line of sight to the tree that equals 60 degrees

Step 4; John drives a second stake in the ground

Step 5; John measures the the distance between the two stakes

Step 6; John multiplies the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the distance.

Reasons:

The steps that can be used to measure the width of the stream are;

Step 1: Drive a stake opposite the tree on the other side of the stream.

Step 2: With the aid of a compass, walk at right angles to the line formed by the stake and the tree.

Step 3; Keep walking along the previous path till a point is reached where the angle formed between the line of site to the tree and the walk path is 60°.

Step 4; At the point where the line of sight to the tree is 60°, a second stake is driven in the ground.

Step 5; Measure the distance between the stakes that are placed in the ground.

Step 6; Given that by trigonometry, the ratio of the width of the stream to the distance between the two stakes is tan(60°) ≈ 1.7, multiply the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the width of the stream.

$\displaystyle tan(60^{\circ}) = \mathbf{\frac{Width \ of \ stream}{Distance \ between \ stakes}}$

The possible question options are;

John measures the the distance between the two stakes

John uses a compass to walk away from the stakes at a right angle

John multiplies the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the distance

John drives a second stake in the ground

On the path John walks until he finds a line of sight to the tree that equals 60 degrees

John drives a stake opposite the tree to establish a line between two points.
