Every weekday, Mr. Jones bikes from his home to his job. Sometimes he rides along two roads, the long route that is shown by the

solid lines. Other times, he takes the shortcut shown by the dashed line.
A right triangle. The distance from the angle with measure 90 degrees to Job is 15 kilometers. From the angle to Home is a. They hypotenuse is 17 kilometers.


How many fewer kilometers does Mr. Jones bike when he takes the shortcut instead of the long route?

Answer:

(A)6 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we determine the value of a using Pythagoras Theorem.

Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2\\17^2=a^2+15^2\\a^2=17^2-15^2\\a^2=289-225\\a^2=64\\a^2=8^2\\a=8$ km

Therefore:

Distance along the long route = 8 + 15 =23 km

Distance along the shortcut =17 km

Difference =23-17 =6km

Therefore, Mr. Jones bikes 6km less when he takes the shortcut instead of the long route.

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

30° =  m∠GFH

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ∠EFH and ∠GFH are complementary, the sum of their measures i 90.

Let x = m∠GFH

2x = m∠EFH

m∠GFH + m∠EFH = 90

x + 2x = 90

3x = 90

x = 30° =  m∠GFH

find real numbers a, b, and c so that the graph of the function y=ax^2+c contains the points (-1,6), (2,7), and (0,1)
Paraphin [41]
This gives you three simultaneous equations:

6 = a + c
7 = 4a + c
1 = c
 
<u>c = 1
</u>
<u /><u />
If c =1,

6 = a + 1
<u>a = 5
</u>
<u /><u />
This doesn't work in the second equation, so the quadratic that goes through these points is not in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c
Was there supposed to be a b in the equation?

Find the balance in the account. $2,500 principal earning 4%, compounded quarterly, after 4 years
Rus_ich [418]
Formula:
A(t)=P(1+(r/n))^)nt)

A(4)=2500(1+(0.04/4))^(4*4)
A(4) = 2500(1.01)^16
A(4) = 2500*1.1726
<span>A(4) = $2931.45</span>

The figures below are based on semicircles and squares. Find the perimeter and the area of each shape. Give your answer as a com
Nuetrik [128]
To find the area, move each semicircle to fill up the square, you'll see there are three squares, each with an area of 4*4=16, so the total area is 3*16=48
Now the perimeter:
the perimeter of a circle is π times the diameter.
perimeter of each semicircle: (1/2)π*4=2π
there are altogether 6 arches and two straight sides, so the total is
2π*6+4*2=12π+8

the area is 48 square units, the perimeter is 12π+8 units.
