Larger is x
the other is called y
sum of squares is 394
x^2+y^2=394
one is 2 less that other
x>y so
y+2=x
subsitute y+2 for x

(y+2)^2+y^2=394
expand
y^2+4y+4+y^2=394
add like terms
2y^2+4y+4=394
divideboth sides by 2
y^2+2y+2=197
subtract 197 from both sides
y^2+2y-195=0
factor
(y+15)(y-13)=0
set each to zero
y+15=0
y=-15
impossible since it is stated that they are positive so get rid of this solution
y-13=0
y=13

find other
y+2=x
13+2=x
15=x


numbers are 13 and 15

Use complete sentences explain whether the following scenario will display biased results. A power plant measures its emissions
LekaFEV [45]
The location of the sensor that it is opposite the direction of the wind is reasonable and is needed to identify the plant's emissions. However, there might be a bias to that if it is located a mile from the plant's smokestack. The distance may be quite far. Considerations in identifying the location of the sensors such as changes in wind direction, wind speed, atmospheric stability, physical stack height, diameter, and other important factors are needed to have an accurate reading of the pollutants.

Solve for x. Write the smaller solution first, and the larger solution second.
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0

(x - 2)(x + 5) = 0

x - 2 = 0       x + 5 = 0

x = 2             x = -5

smaller x = -5

larger x = 2

Given a trapezoid with a height of 4.3m and bases of 9.2 m and 3.2m, what is the area of the trapezoid? Do not include units in
77julia77 [94]

For  a height of 4.3m and bases of 9.2 m and 3.2m, the area of the trapezoid  is mathematically given as

A=26.7

<h3>What is the area of the trapezoid?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the trapezoid   is mathematically given as

A=0.5*(a+b)*h

Therefore

A=0.5*(3.2+9.2)*4.3

A=26.7

In conclusion,area of the trapezoid

A=26.7

Brainers, please help me out. Thanks
quester [9]

The Pythagorean Theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the sides and c is the hypotenuse.

From the picture you have a = 10 and c = 15.

Now you have:

10^2 + b^2 = 15^2

Simplify:

100 + b^2 = 225

Subtract 100 from both sides:

b^2 = 125

Take the square root of both sides:

b = √125

b = 11.2
