Use Pythagorean's Theorem to solve for the missing leg length.

32^2-18^2=a^2

with a being the length of the missing leg. Simplifying we have

1024-324=a^2

and

a^2=700. If we are told to express our answer to the nearest tenth of an inch, then we are simply plugging that into our calculator to get 26.45 or, rounded correctly, 26.5

Sarah took the advertising department from her company on a round trip to meet with a potential client. Including Sarah a total
Fantom [35]

Answer:the number of coach tickets that she bought is 5

the number of first class tickets that she bought is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of coach tickets that she bought.

Let y represent the number of first class tickets that she bought.

The total number of people that went for the round trip is 11. This means that

x + y = 11

She was able to purchase coach tickets for ​$340 and first class tickets for ​$1190. She used her total budget for airfare for the​ trip, which was ​$8840. This means that

340x + 1190y = 8840 - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 11 - y into equation 1, it becomes

340(11-y) + 1190y = 8840

3740 - 340y + 1190y = 8840

- 340y + 1190y = 8840 - 3740

850y = 5100

y = 5100/850 = 6

x = 11 - y

x = 11 - 6 = 5

A hammock that hangs between two trees makes a parabola shape that has the equation y = 0.4(x- 3)² +1, where x is the distance f
34kurt

Answer:

A. The lowest point of the hammock is at the point 1 meters above the ground and 3 meters from one end of the hammock

B. The two trees are 6 meters away from one another

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation of the parabola representing the hammock is as follows;

y = 0.4·(x - 3)² + 1

The general equation of a parabola is a·(x - h)² + k;

Where the coordinates of the vertex point of the parabola, which is the lowest (or highest, furthest) point on the vertex is (h, k) = (3, 1)

Therefore, we have;

A, The coordinates of the lowest point on the hammock is (3, 1)

Therefore, the lowest point of the hammock is at 1 meters above the ground and 3 meters from one end of the hammock

B.  Given that the distance from one end is "x", we have;

The height at which the hammock is attached is given as the point where x = 0 as follows;

Given that the vertex of the parabola represents the axis of symmetry of the parabola, we have that the horizontal distance from one end of the hammock to the vertex point of the parabola that the hammock forms is (3 - 0) meters = 3 meters

Therefore, by the definition of symmetry, the distance from the vertex point to the other end of the parabola that the hammock forms is also 3 meters

From which we have, the distance the two trees are from one another is 3 meters + 3 meters = 6 meters.
