A=1/2bh
b=8+h
A=384

384=1/2(bh)
times 2
768=bh
sub
768=b(8+b)
768=8b+b^2
minus 768 both sides
0=b^2+8b-768
factor
0=(b-24)(b+32)
set to zero
b-24=0
b=24

b+32=0
minus 32
b=-32
false, legnths cannot be negative

b=24
24=8+h
minus 8
16=h

base=24ft
altetude=16ft

In the diagram below, x is a whole number. what is the smallest possible value for x?
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The smallest possible value for x is 9\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u>Triangle Inequality Theorem</u>. states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side

so

x+x>17\\2x>17\\x>8.5\ units

The value of x must be greater than  8.5\ units

so

If x must be a whole number

therefore

The smallest possible value for x is 9\ units

Solve for x.
Ivahew [28]
ANSWER

x=\frac{2-\sqrt{10}} {3}

or

x=\frac{\sqrt{10}+2} {3}

We have

3x^2-4x-2=0

Since we cannot factor easily, we complete the square.

Adding 2 to both sides give,

3x^2-4x=2

Dividing through by 3 gives

x^2-\frac{4}{3}x= \frac{2}{3}

Adding (-\frac{2}{3})^2 to both sides gives

x^2-\frac{4}{3}x+(-\frac{2}{3})^2= \frac{2}{3}+(-\frac{2}{3})^2

The expression on the Left Hand side is a perfect square.

(x-\frac{2}{3})^2= \frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{9}

\Rightarrow (x-\frac{2}{3})^2= \frac{10}{9}

\Rightarrow (x-\frac{2}{3})=\pm \sqrt{\frac{10}{9}}

\Rightarrow (x)=\frac{2}{3} \pm {\frac{\sqrt{10}}{3}

Splitting the plus or minus sign gives

x=\frac{2- \sqrt{10}} {3}

or

x=\frac{\sqrt{10}+2} {3}

Find the length of XY.<br> Imported Asset <br><br> 4<br><br> 8<br><br> 16<br><br> 11.3
kompoz [17]

Answer: 8 (The second option).


Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this exercise you draw a line to a point O, this lines will bisect the angle of Z∠60°. Then will obtain two into two right triangles with two angles of 30° at the point Z.

2. The lenght XY will be twice the lengt XO or YO.

3. Let's  calclate XO as following:

sin(30)=\frac{XO}{8}\\XO=4

4. Then, XY is:

XY=2XO\\XY=2*4\\XY=8
