Solutions

To solve this problem we have to use the Pythagorean theorem. You can only use the Pythagorean theorem in Right Triangles. The longest side of the triangle is called the "hypotenuse". C² is the longest side so it is the hypotenuse . To calculate c² we have to do α² + β² = c². 

Given 

One leg of a right triangular piece of land has a length of 24 yards. They hypotenuse has a length of 74 yards. The other leg has a length of 10x yards.

First leg (24 yards) would be α 

Second leg would be β

Hypotenuse (74 yards) would be c

Now we have points α β c.  

a² (24) + β² ( x ) = c² (74) 

Calculations 

c² = α² + β²

74² = 24²+ β² 

<span>5476 = 576 + </span>β² 

5476 - 576 = β²
<span> </span>
<span>4900 = </span>β² 

→√4900 
<span> </span>
β<span> = 70 yards 
</span>
<span>70 = 10x 
</span>
<span>x = 70</span>÷<span>10 = 7 yards  
</span>
The second leg = 7 yards

In 2010 an item costs $9.00. The price increases by 1.5% each year. How much will it be in 2030?
Yanka [14]

Answer:11.7

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Recognize variables. Starting price is 9, it’s increasing by 1.5% each year, the question asks for the price in 20 years.

2. Convert percentage to decimal. Most calculators won’t understand multiplying by percentages, and instead will understand multiplying by decimals. A decimal is something we can easily work with. It is more commonly taught to work with decimals as well. With that said 1.5% equals .015. (The number in the ones place in the percentage is always in the hundredths place when converted to a decimal, the tens to the tenths, the hundreds in the percentage to the ones place in the decimal, the hundredths in the percentage to the ten thousandths in the decimal. Basically, every individual number [the 5 in 1.5] moves two spaces to the right when going from percentage to decimal form, likewise two to the left going from decimal to percentage form. 23%=.23, 104%=1.04, 0.5%=.05, 1.234%=.01234)

3. Make your equation

20(9*(.015))+9

+9 is your starting point

9*(.015) gives you the amount the price increases per year

20 is multiplied then to that increased price for the next 20 years

candice is going to replace the top of a table with a new piece of wood. How many square feet of wood would she purchase? 8ft. ,
lukranit [14]

Answer:

She  needs to purchase  50  square feet of wood .

Step-by-step explanation:

we can find the number of square feet of wood needed to purchase by finding the area of the table

The area of the table  =  area of the triangle + area of the rectangle

Area of the triangle:

Area of the triangle  = \frac{1}{2}(base \times height)

On substituting the values from the attached figure , we get

Area of the triangle  = \frac{1}{2}(4\times  5)

Area of the triangle  = \frac{20}{2}

Area of the triangle  = 10 square feet

Area of the rectangle:

Area of the rectangle = Length X  Breadth

On substituting the values from the attached figure , we get

Area of the triangle  = 5 \times  8

Area of the triangle  =  40 square feet

Thus the area of the table  = 10 +  40 = 50  square feet
