Refer to the diagram shown below.

The exit for Freestone is built midway between Roseville and Edgewood,
therefore the distance from O to the new exit is
(1/2)*(33+55) = 44 mi.

Let x =  distance from Midtown to the new exit.
Because the distance from O to the new exit is equal to (x + 17), therefore
x + 17 = 44
x = 44 - 17 = 27 mi.

Answer:
When the new exit is built, the distance from the exit for Midtown to the exit for Freestone will be 27 miles.

What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle when x=10​?
Schach [20]

Answer:

84 (nearest whole number)

Step-by-step explanation:

If x = 10,

Longest leg = (7 x 10) + 4 = 74

Shortest leg = 4 x 10 = 40

Using Pythagoras' Theorem a² + b² = c² (where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle):

⇒ 74² + 40² = c²

⇒ 7076 = c²

⇒ c = √7076 = 84.11896...

⇒ hypotenuse = 84 (nearest whole number)

zlopas [31]

Answer: -9°F

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that the temperature at 6:00 am was -12 Fahrenheit and that the temperature increased by 1/2 Fahrenheit each hour for 6 hours.

The temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, at noon would be:

= -12°F + 1/2(6)

= -12°F + 3°F

= -9°F
