A builder set up a wooden frame in which to pour concrete for a foundation to a house. The length of the wooden frame is 24 feet

. The width is 32 feet. The diagonal is 40 feet. Which best describes the foundation?
The foundation cannot be a rectangle: 24+32≠40

The foundation cannot be a rectangle: (24+32)^2≠40^2

The foundation cannot be a rectangle: √24^2+32^2≠40^2

The foundation may be a rectangle: 24^2+32^2=40

I have drawn a figure for the foundation of a frame with dimension 24 x 32 and diagonal.

For triangle ABD, if it's satisfy the Pythagorean theorem then ABCD will be a recatngle.

Pythagorean formula is:

a² + b² = c²

Where c is the hypotenuse and a, b are the legs of the triangle.

From triangle ABD:

AB² +BD² = AD²

24² + 32² = 40²

576 + 1024 = 1600 Simplify each sides separately.

1600 = 1600

From above result , 1600 = 1600 is true.

So, ABD is a right triangle, similarly ACD will also be right triangle.

Hence, ∠B and ∠C are right triangles.

So, ABCD is a rectangle.

Hence, the last choice is correct.

Hope this helps you!.

Given the equation 4x2 − 8x + 20 = 0, what are the values of h and k when the equation is written in vertex form a(x − h)2 + k =
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The correct option is:

h = 1, k = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

y=4x^2-8x+20 =0

It is a quadratic formula in standard form:

ax^2+bx+c

where a = 4 , b = -8 and c=20

The vertex form is:

a(x − h)2 + k = 0

h is the axis of symmetry and (h,k) is the vertex.

Calculate h according to the following formula:

h = -b/2a

h= -(-8)/2(4)

h = 8/8

h = 1

Substitute k for y and insert the value of h for x in the standard form:

ax^2+bx+c

k = 4(1)^2+(-8)(1)+20

k = 4-8+20

k=-4+20

k = 16

Thus the correct option is h=1, k=16....

What’s the best way to revise for maths? can never remember how to do anything.
Allisa [31]

Repetition is a guaranteed way to learn something. If it is a formula you need to learn, try doing flashcards and reading it over and over again until you can spell it without the flahcard. If it is something like factoring, just do a bunch of factoring problems until you get the feel of it.
