5 0
MN + NP = MP
6x - 7 + 2x + 3 = 60
8x - 4 = 60
8x = 64
x = 8

MN = 6(8) - 7 = 56 - 7 = 49

answer
x = 8
MN = 49

Can you write a real world problem that uses Pythagorean theorem ?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

1) Road Trip: Let’s say two friends are meeting at a playground. Mary is already at the park but her friend Bob needs to get there taking the shortest path possible. Bob has two way he can go - he can follow the roads getting to the park - first heading south 3 miles, then heading west four miles. The total distance covered following the roads will be 7 miles. The other way he can get there is by cutting through some open fields and walk directly to the park. If we apply Pythagoras's theorem to calculate the distance you will get:

(3)<span>2 </span>+ (4)2 =

9 + 16 = C2

√25 = C

5 Miles. = C

Walking through the field will be 2 miles shorter than walking along the roads. .

2) Painting on a Wall: Painters use ladders to paint on high buildings and often use the help of Pythagoras' theorem to complete their work. The painter needs to determine how tall a ladder needs to be in order to safely place the base away from the wall so it won't tip over. In this case the ladder itself will be the hypotenuse. Take for example a painter who has to paint a wall which is about 3 m high. The painter has to put the base of the ladder 2 m away from the wall to ensure it won't tip. What will be the length of the ladder required by the painter to complete his work? You can calculate it using Pythagoras' theorem:

(5)<span>2 </span>+ (2)2 =

25 + 4 = C2

√100 = C

5.3 m. = C

Thus, the painter will need a ladder about 5 meters high.

3) Buying a Suitcase: Mr. Harry wants to purchase a suitcase. The shopkeeper tells Mr. Harry that he has a 30 inch of suitcase available at present and the height of the suitcase is 18 inches. Calculate the actual length of the suitcase for Mr. Harry using Pythagoras' theorem. It is calculated this way:

(18)<span>2 </span>+ (b)2 = (30)2

324 + b2 = 900

B2 = 900 – 324

b= √576

= 24 inches

Rectangle area w algebra<br> step by step explanation please :)
Natalija [7]

We know that the area is 20.

Since 20 is a small number: lets list out possible combinations of lengths and widths.

1 * 20

2 * 10

4 * 5

L = 7 + 3w

lets see which on makes sense.

L = 7 + 3w

20 = w7 + 3w^2

3w^2 + 7w -20 = 0

(3w - 10)(w - 2)

w can equal 10/3 or 2.

So the dimensions: are Width = 2 Length = 10

An investment offers a simple interest rate of 3% per year.
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

sh 23000

Step-by-step explanation:

i = \frac{prt}{100}  =  \frac{20000 \times 3 \times 5}{100}  = 3000

Amount = principal + interest = 20000+3000 = sh 23000
