In order to ask me the width of a river, similar triangles can be used as shown in the diagram. Three markers O, C, and E are pl

aced on the upper Bank of the river for me a right triangle. He is on the back of the river and OC is perpendicular to CE. A marker in is placed across the river and cold in here with C & E. Another marker, A is Place downstream on the bank so that see it is perfectly Dacula to in a. If OC is 66 ft, CE is 44 ft, and NA is 93 ft, find the estimated width of the River, and E, in feet.

Answer:

  • NE = 62 ft
  • width = 106 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Speech to text conversion makes this problem almost unintelligible. Ordinary English writing with appropriate math symbols would probably communicate more clearly.

By similar triangles, ...

  NE/NA = CE/CO

  NE/93 = 44/66

  NE = 93·(44/66) = 62 . . . feet

The estimated width of the river is ...

  width = NE + CE = 62 + 44 = 106 . . . . feet

Write the expanded form of the expression. <br> -1/2 (y - x) = ?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The expanded form of the expression -\frac{1}{2}(y-x) is \mathbf{-\frac{1}{2}(y)+\frac{1}{2}(x)}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write expanded form of the expression -\frac{1}{2}(y-x)

For expansion we will use distributive property of multiplication over addition

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Applying above rule:

-\frac{1}{2}(y-x)\\=-\frac{1}{2}(y)-(-\frac{1}{2}(x))\\=-\frac{1}{2}(y)+\frac{1}{2}(x)

So, the expanded form of the expression -\frac{1}{2}(y-x) is \mathbf{-\frac{1}{2}(y)+\frac{1}{2}(x)}

mover mike stacked 4 congruent shipping shipping crates. Each crate measured 3 feet in height. How tall is stack of shipping cra
muminat

The height of stack is 36 feet.

<h3>What is unitary method?</h3>

The unitary method is a technique for solving a problem by first finding the value of a single unit, and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value

Given:

height of 1 crate = 3 feet

height of 1 crate in inch = 3*12

= 36 feet

Hence, the height of stack of shipping crates is 36 feet.

Solve The Equation <br> 4x×9y=7<br> 4x-9y=9
hoa [83]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{9}{8}-\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{8},\ y=-\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{18}}\\or\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{9}{8}+\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{2},\ y=-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{18}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}4x\times9y=7&(1)\\4x-9y=9&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\(2)\\4x-9y=9\qquad\text{subtract}\ 4x\ \text{from both sides}\\-9y=-4x+9\qquad\text{change the signs}\\9y=4x-9\qquad\text{substitute it to (1)}\\\\4x(4x-9)=7\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\(4x)(4x)+(4x)(-9)=7\\(4x)^2-36x=7\\(4x)^2-2(4x)(4.5)=7\qquad\text{add}\ 4.5^2\ \text{to both sides}\\(4x)^2-2(4x)(4.5)+4.5^2=7+4.5^2\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2

(4x-4.5)^2=7+20.25\\(4x-4.5)=27.25\to 4x-4.5=\pm\sqrt{27.25}\\\\4x-\dfrac{45}{10}=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{2725}{100}}\\\\4x-\dfrac{45}{10}=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{2725}}{\sqrt{100}}\\\\4x-\dfrac{45}{10}=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{25\cdot109}}{10}\\\\4x-\dfrac{45}{10}=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{25}\cdot\sqrt{109}}{10}\\\\4x-\dfrac{45}{10}=\pm\dfrac{5\sqrt{109}}{10}\qquad\text{add}\ \dfrac{45}{10}\ \text{to both sides}\\\\4x=\dfrac{45}{10}\pm\dfrac{5\sqrt{109}}{10}

4x=\dfrac{9}{2}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{2}\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\x=\dfrac{9}{8}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{8}\\\\\text{Put the values of}\ x\ \text{to (2):}\\\\9y=4\left(\dfrac{9}{8}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{8}\right)-9\\\\9y=\dfrac{9}{2}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{2}-\dfrac{18}{2}\\\\9y=-\dfrac{9}{2}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{2}\qquad\text{divide both sides by 9}\\\\y=-\dfrac{1}{2}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{109}}{18}
