Find the value of the variable. If your answer is not an integer, leave it in simplest radical form.

1 answer:

8 0

So this is considered a "special triangle." The 30-60-90 triangle states that if the short leg is x, then the hypotenuse is 2x and the long leg is x√3.

Since we have the short leg, to find the hypotenuse, or y in this case, multiply the short leg by 2:

17 × 2 = 34

Next, to find the long leg, or x in this case, multiply the short leg by √3:

17 × √3 = 17√3

<u>In short, x = 17√3 and y = 34. The correct option is the last option.</u>

Hey there!

The answer would be B. y = 1.25x

If each pound is $1.25 and you get 4 pounds then that would equal to $5.00 or y.

Hope this helps !

Answer:

C. 176.6 Square feet (I think)

Step-by-step explanation:

I tried many different ways and got three of the answers above but I think this is the right one.

The equation to find area of a circular cone base: $A= \pi r^2$

We are given the diameter (15 Feet) but we need to find the radius. So we use the diameter to radius formula: $r = \frac{d}{2}$
Plug in numbers: $r=\frac{15}{2}$ ≈ $7.5$
Use the Area formula now that you have radius: $A=\pi 7.5^2$
Solve and get = $a = 176.71458676$
Looking at the options the closest one to our answer (off by one-tenth) is C.
