Work backwards with pythagoras' theorem:
c^2=a^2+b^2
Here, a and b both equal to x. Therefore, you can write this as 8^2=2x^2. So 64=2x^2. Sqrt on both sides to give you 8=2x, hence x=4. However I must warn you that this working out may have a flaw, as I found that x actually equals to 5.66

You want to place a towel bar that is 10 1⁄4 inches long in the center of a door that is 26 1⁄3 inches wide. How far should you
attashe74 [19]
The bar should be 8 1/24 from the each edge of the door.

We need to subtract 10 1/4 from 26 1/3 to get the fraction of the space not covered by the towel bar. 
We also need to divide the difference by 2 because we placed the towel bar in the center of the door.

1st we need to convert the mixed fractions into fractions to perform subtraction.
26 1/3 = ((26*3)+1)/3 = 79/3
10 1/4 = ((10*4)+1)/4 = 41/4

Steps in Subtracting Fractions
Step 1. Make sure the denominator is the same. 3 and 4 are the denominators, they are not the same but they are factor of 12. So,
79/3 must be multiplied by 4 = 79 * 4 / 3 * 4 = 316 / 12
41/4 must be multiplied by 3 = 41 * 3 / 4 * 3 = 123 / 12

Step 2. Subtract the numerators and place them above the common denominator
316/12 - 123/12 = 316 - 123 / 12 = 193 / 12

Before we can simplify the fraction, we must divide it by two to get the measurement of each edge of the door.

Steps in dividing fractions.
Step 1. Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.
1st fraction : 193 / 12
2nd fraction : 2 /1  ⇒ reciprocal 1/2

Step 2. Multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction
193 / 12 * 1/2 = 193 * 1 / 12 * 2 = 193 / 24

Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
193 / 24 = 8 1/24

Papessa [141]

Answer:

230 were sold at the door

170 were sold in advance

Step-by-step explanation:

x=at door y=in advance

x+y=400

3x+2y=1030

y=-x+400

2y=-3x+1030

y=-3/2x+515

-x+400=-3/2x+515

x=230 y=170

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS! A flower bed is in the shape of a triangle with one side twice the length of the shortest​ side, and t
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

A=60, B=80, and C=67

Step by step explanation:

B= 2a

C= a+27

With the information, you get the equation:

A+A+27+2A=187

Then, you have to simplify.

You then get 4a+27=187.

Now, you subtract 27 from both sides to get: 4a=60.

Divide both sides by 4 to get A= 60.

If A=60, 2A=80, so B=80. A+27=67, so C=67.

You check this by adding them up to see if they equal to 187, which in fact, they do.

A=60, B=80, and C=67.

Hope this helped!
