kifflom [539]4 years ago
6 0

Recall that the short leg is the side opposite the 30 degrees angle. And the ratio of the short leg to the hypotenuse is 1:2.

Let the length of the short leg be x, then,

\cfrac{x}{14}=\cfrac{1}{2}\\ \\\Rightarrow2x=14\\ \\\Rightarrow x=\cfrac{14}{2}=7

If the perimeter of the adult pinball machine is 172 inches, what is the length, in inches of G’A’?
quester [9]
If you have ever seen a pinball machine, you would know that it is shaped like a rectangular box. Since a rectangle has two sets of equal parallel lines, then you would have to know the length and the width. Its perimeter is equal to the total length of all sides. Thus, the equation is 2L + 2W = 172 inches. However, since there is no other data other than the perimeter, I can't give a definite numerical answer. The only answer I could give is in variables. Thus, the length of the pinball machine is

2L = 172 - 2W

L= 86 - W

Ted jogged a total of 11.2 miles in 4 days. He jogged the same distance each day
marta [7]

Answer:

Part A: 2.8 miles

Part B: 16.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, solve for how many miles Ted jogged in 1 day:

Variable x = number of miles

11.2/4 = x/1

Cross multiply

11.2 × 1 = 4 × x

11.2 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

2.8 = x

He jogged 2.8 miles every day.

To find how many miles Ted would jog in 6 days, simply multiply his miles per day by the number of days he will jog:

2.8 miles × 6 days = 16.8 miles in 6 days

Use properties of equality to Solve 7+3x = 5x+13 for x
mario62 [17]
We basically have to cancel values on both sides until they are both on common ground.

7 + 3x = 5x + 13

-7 from both sides...

3x = 5x + 6

-5x from both sides...

-2x = 6

/-2 from both sides...

x = -3


Hope this helps!
