Let those numbers be a and b

a+b = 25 -----(i)
ab = 154 -----(ii)

from (ii)
a = 154/b

by substituting for "a" in (i)

a + b = 25
(154/b) + b = 25
( 154 + b^2)/b = 25
154 + b^2 = 25b
154 + b^2 -25b =0

now, arrange the terms

b^2 - 25b + 154 = 0
b^2 - 14b - 11b + 154 =0
b (b-14) -11 (b-14) =0
(b-11)(b-14)= 0


now find the value for b

b -11 =0
b = 11
and

b-14=0
b = 14


b equals either 14 or 11

and a = 154/b
if b = 11 then, a = 154/11 = 14
if b = 14 then, a = 154/14 = 11


so, the value of a and b are 11 and 14.

so, those numbers are 11 and 14.

Allison was looking at a map with the following scale indicator. 2 inches = 6 miles
xeze [42]

answer: 9

the answer is 9 because 6 ÷ 2 = 3, and if you multiply 3 with 3, you get 9. you multiply the number 3 because you need to find out the distance in miles, and since in inches it is 3, you need to multiply by 3 because that is the formula to get miles.

Solve triangle ABC, when A= 6, B=10 and c=12
valentinak56 [21]
Use cosine rule,

cos(A)=(b^2+c^2-a^2)/(2bc)
=(10^2+12^2-6^2)/(2*10*12)
=13/15
A=29.926 degrees.................................(A)

cos(B)=(c^2+a^2-b^2)/(2ca)
=(12^2+6^2-10^2)/(2*12*6)
=5/9
B=56.251 degrees.................................(B)

cos(C)=(a^2+b^2-c^2)/(2ab)
=(6^2+10^2-12^2)/(2*6*10)
=-1/15
C=93.823 degrees.................................(C)

Check:29.926+56.251+93.823=180.0 degrees....ok
