Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two equations are 2x+4y= -8 and 4x+8y= 5

These two lines are parallel They don't have a solution because they do not meet .

Multiply the first equation by 2 we get 4x+8y = -16

the other equation is 4x+8y= 5 clearly these two are parallel .

To prove by elimination method we have subtract those two equations we get 21≠0 which is not possible.

Therefore there is no solution to the given set of equation.

A right triangle has a perimeter of 24 cm and a hypotenuse of 10 cm. Find the length of the other two sides.

jekas [21]

Answer:

One of the sides is 6 cm and the other is 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the unknown sides a and b. From the perimeter information (24 cm) we have:

a + b + hypotenuse = 24

a + b + 10 = 24

a + b = 14

b = 14 - a

So now we can right the Pythagorean theorem as follows:

$a^2 + b^2 = hypotenuse^2\\a^2 + (14-a)^2=10^2\\a^2+ 14^2-28\,a+a^2=100\\2\,a^2-28\,a +96=0\\2\,(a^2-14\,a+48)=0\\2\,(a^2-6\,a-8\,a+48)=0\\2(a\,(a-6)-8\,(a-6))=0\\2\,(a-6)\,(a-8)=0$

and from this expression in factor form to be zero a must be 6 or a must be 8.

Therefore the solutions are a = 6 (and therefore b = 14 - 6 = 8)

or a = 8 (and therefore b = 14 - 8 = 6)

What is the approximate circumference of a circle with a diameter of 300 feet

almond37 [142]

Circumference = 2πr

Since you know the diameter is 300, you divide it by 2 to find the radius. Therefore, the radius is 150.
Now plug it into the formula: C = 2(3.14)(150)
C = 942

Answer: Circumference is 942 feet
