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

KL = 4x +3.<br> JK = 4x + 2, and<br> JL = 45<br> Find KL.
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

KL=23

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the length of the whole line and its two halves. Since JK and KL make up the line JL, adding them together would make the line JL.

(4x+3)+(4x+2) = 45

8x+5=45

8x=40

x=5

Now we can plug the value of x back into the expression we were given for the line KL.

4(5)+3

Kelly used the vertical line test to determine whether or not the curve that she
Keith_Richards [23]
<h3>Answer:  Choice D</h3>

All vertical lines intersected the curve at exactly 1 point.

===========================================================

Explanation:

If there is a case when a single vertical line crosses 2 or more points on the  curve, then it will not be a function. In this situation, it is said that the curve fails the vertical line test.

Passing the vertical line test means that every vertical line passes through exactly one point on the curve. Each x input leads to exactly one output. If such a situation happens, then we have a function.

Since Kelly concluded that the curve is a function, this means the curve passed the vertical line test, and it points us to choice D as the answer.

How do you estimate 403,446 +396,755
Bingel [31]
403446 is around 400000 so you round that up in your head.  396755 is close to 400000 so you round that up in your head to.  Then you add them together to get 800000, which you can do in your head.
