Remark
It's a right triangle so the Pythagorean Theorem applies. All you have to do is put the right things in the right places of the formula.

Givens
a = x
b = x + 4
c = 20

Formula and Substitution.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + (x + 4)^2 = 20^2

Solution
x^2 + x^2 + 8x + 16 = 20 Collect the like terms on the left.
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = 20  Subtract 20 from both sides.
2x^2 + 8x + 16 - 20 = 0  
2x^2 + 8x - 4 = 0         Divide through by 2
x^2 + 4x - 2 = 0

Use the quadratic formula
a = 1
b = 4
c = - 2

\text{x = }\dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} 
 
\text{x = }\dfrac{ -4 \pm \sqrt{4^{2} + 4(1)(2) } }{2} 


From which x = (-4 +/- sqrt(24) ) / 2
x1 = (- 4 +/- sqrt(4*6) ) / 2
x1 = (- 4 +/- 2 sqrt(6) ) / 2
x1 = -2 + sqrt(6)
x2 = -2 - sqrt(6)  This is an extraneous root. No line can be minus.

x1 = + 0.4495
x2 = x + 4 = 4.4495

irina [24]

Answer:

<h3><X = 63</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

USing SOH CAH TOA

sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse

sin <X = WV/VX

sin <X = 8/9

<X = arcsin(8/9)

<X = arcsin(0.8889)

<X = 62.7 degrees

Hence the value of x is approximately 63degrees

Which is an equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope?
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter D. (step 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

P (7, 4) slope = 6

Process

1.- Write the equation of the line

          y - y1 = m(x - x1)

   x1 = 7    y1 = 4

2.- Substitution

          y - 4 = 6(x - 7)

- Simplification

         y - 4 = 6x - 42

- Solve for y

         y = 6x - 42 + 4

         y = 6x - 38        This is the equation in the point-slope form

3.- According to the choices the answer is letter D.
