What is the value of x in a 30-60-90 triangle with a hypotenuse of x+12 and a longer side of x?

In a 30 - 60 - 90 triangle the side opposite the hypotenuse is 1/2 the hypotenuse and which will be the shorter side. Read this over a couple of times till you realize that (x + 12)/2 is the shortest side.

[(x + 12) / 2]^2 + x^2 = (x + 12)^2 subtract [(x + 12)/2]^2 from both sides.

x^2 = (x +12)^2 - [ (x +12)/2]^2
x^2 = (x + 12)^2  [ 1 - (1/2)^2] You were given this as a question in school? It seems awfully hard.
x^2 = (x + 12)^2 [3/4] 
4x^2 = 3*(x^2 + 24x + 144)
4x^2 = 3x^2 + 72x + 432
x^2 - 72x - 432 = 0 This is a quadratic, do you know what they are?
The solution to this comes to x = 77.56

I don't think I made a mistake, but it is sure possible.Check the numbers and my method.

The solution to -35 x = -105 is -3. TrueFalse
Setler [38]

-35x = -105

divide -105 by -35 to get x by itself

x = 3

The answer is false because the real answer would be 3

Add then divide.<br> Evaluate<br> (7.3 X 10) + (2.4 X 107)<br> (4 X 104)
Deffense [45]

Answer:

6.0 x 10^2

Step-by-step explanation:

(7.3 X 10) + (2.4 X 10^7)

(4 X 10^4)

= 73 + 24000000

40000

= 24000073

40000

= 6.0 x 10^2

-2/3y-3/4=5 <br> What is the answer i need to show my work please
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

y=  -69/8  (negative 69 over 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to simplify both sides of the equation:

-2/3y+ -3/4 =5

Second, add 3/4 to both sides:

-2/3y +-3/4 + 3/4=5 +3/4

-2/3y= 23/4

Next, multiply both sides by 3/(-2) (3 over -2)

(3/-2)*(-2/3y)= (3/-2) * (23/4)

<em><u></u></em>

<em><u>y= -69/8</u></em>
