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 mean is 10,724.28.



Explanation:


The mean is all of the values divided by the number of values there are.

So what you have to do is add all of the numbers and divide it by the amount of numbers there are.


10,150+10,211+10,424+10,769+10,884+11,155+11,477= 75,070.


Since there are 7 numbers, divide 75,070/7 and you get your mean, which is 10,724.28 rounded.

A napkin is folded into an isosceles triangle, triangle ABC, and placed on a plate, as shown. The napkin has a perimeter of 38 c
gavmur [86]
The area of plate which is covered by the napkin is equal to the area of folded napkin.

Before finding the area of folded napkin, we should find the dimension of the napkin.
Find the length of the leg side, the two leg has similar length.
perimeter = 38
l + l + 8 = 38
2l + 8 = 38
2l = 30
  l = 15
Each leg is 15 cm long.

Find the area of folded napkin
area = 1/2 × s × s × sin of angle between the sides
area = 1/2 × 15 × 15 × sin 30°
area = 1/2 × 15 × 15 × 1/2
area = 225/4
area = 56.25
to the nearest whole number >> 56 cm²

Alright listen to the key words in the question specifically “CORRESPONDING” if u don’t know what corresponding means it means very similar or equivalent in comparison I will help u with the first 2 for u the corresponding Angle to a is angle x. ur basically looking for the same angle on 2 different triangles and the answer to angle b is angle z and if it’s 2 letters it means it one of the sides or lines to the triangle so line ab would be line xz on the other triangle I hope this helps
