Answer:  The length of all three sides of the reflecting pool are 8 feet , 17 feet and 16 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let sides along the building be 'x',  then the measure of hypotenuse = x+9 and the measure of third side = 7+x

Since , the reflecting pool is shaped like a right triangle.

Then , by using Pythagoras theorem , we have

(x+9)^2=x^2+(x+7)^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+81+18x=x^2+x^2+49+14x\ \ [\text{Using }(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab ]]\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+81+18x=2x^2+49+14x\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-4x-32=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-8x+4x-32=0\\\\\Rigtarrow\ x(x-8)+4(x-8)=(x-8)(x+4)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=8\ or -4

But length cannot be negative , it means x= 8

Now, the length of side along building = 8 feet

Length of hypotenuse = 9+8 =17 feet

Length of third side = 8+7= 16 feet

The graph of the function f(x)=|3x| is translated 4 units up.
siniylev [52]
Translating a graph upwards just means adding or subtracting a value from the initial function.

So to push a graph up, you just add (+) the number of units onto the original function.

At work, Elon takes a break 1/5​​ of each hour he works. He also takes a lunch break for 1/2​​ of an hour each day he works. Elo
Anton [14]

Answer:

h=50\ hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h -----> the number of hours, Elon works during one 5​-day work week

we know that

12\frac{1}{2}\ h=\frac{12*2+1}{2}=\frac{25}{2}\ h

Elon’s break time must be equal to 1/2​​ of an hour multiplied by 5 days plus  1/5​​ multiplied by the total hours h

so

\frac{25}{2}=5(\frac{1}{2})+\frac{1}{5}h

Solve for h

Multiply by 10 both sides to remove the fraction

125=25+2h

2h=125-25

2h=100

h=50\ hours
