Answer:

x = - 4 or x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given R is the midpoint of AM, then

RA = MR , substitute values

x² - 16x = 80 ( subtract 80 from both sides )

x² - 16x - 80 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 20)(x + 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 20 = 0 ⇒ x = 20

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

An athletic field is a 48 yd​-by-96 yd ​rectangle, with a semicircle at each of the short sides. A running track 20 yd wide surr
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The distance would be equal to 2 times the longest side of the rectangle plus twice the shortest side multiplied by pi / 2 for the semicircle, that is:

longest side 96 and shortest 48

D = 2 * (96) + 2 * (1/2) * pi * 48

D = 192 + pi * 48

This shorter side, which starts at 48, will expand each time by two more in proportion to 20 of the running track between 8 than the number of divisions, that is, 2 * (20/8) = 5

In other words, there are 8 distances, like this:

D1 = 192 + 3.14 * 48 = 342.72 yd

D2 = 192 + 3.14 * (48 + 5) = 358.42 yd

D3 = 192 + 3.14 * (48 + 10) = 374.12 yd

D4 = 192 + 3.14 * (48 + 15) = 389.82 yd

D5 = 192 + 3.14 * (48 + 20) = 405.52 yd

D6 = 192 + 3.14 * (48 + 25) = 421.22 yd

D7 = 192 + 3.14 * (48 + 30) = 436.92 yd

D8 = 192 + 3.14 * (48 + 35) = 452.62 yd

What is the length of if ?<br><br> 8 in.<br> 8.75 in.<br> 10.25 in.<br> 14 in.
Ket [755]

Answer:

A=8.75 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ∆ HBA & ∆HKJ are similar,  

HB/HA = HK/HJ  

3/5.25 = 8/HJ  

3HJ/5.25 = 8  

3HJ = 42  

HJ = 14 in.

AJ = 14 - 5.25  

AJ = 8.75 in.

Therefore

A=8.75 in.

I hope this helped you.
