Step-by-step explanation:
we have a rectangle, that is then cut in half diagonally into 2 right-angled triangles.
in our problem it does not matter which side is the larger and which is the shorter one, because the distance calculation for both cases involve one short and one long side. the sequence does not matter.
Mary walks one short and one large side to get to the opposite corner (from D to F) :
264 + 900 = 1,164 ft
Kate walks diagonally. and that diagonal is the Hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle with a short and a long side of the rectangle.
so, Pythagoras applies :
c² = a² + b²
with c being the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle), and a and b are the legs.
in our case that means
diagonal² = 264² + 900² = 69,696 + 810,000 =
= 879,696
diagonal = sqrt(879,696) = 937.9211054... ft ≈ 938 ft
so, Kate walked
1,164 - 938 = 226 ft
less than Mary.
Answer:
x = - 3 ± 
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 6x + 7 = 0 ( subtract 7 from both sides )
x² + 6x = - 7
using the method of completing the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(3)x + 9 = - 7 + 9
(x + 3)² = 2 ( take square root of both sides )
x + 3 = ±
( subtract 3 from both sides )
x = - 3 ± 
Step-by-step explanation:
inscribed angles subtended by the same arc are equal.
the central angle of a circle is twice any inscribed angle subtended by the same arc.
the first statement tells us that the 53° angle as well as y stay the same size no matter where on their arcs (between the 2 points connected to O) they would be. so, we don't need to bother with any line lengths.
the 2nd statement tells us that x = 2×53 = 106°. the 53° and x angles refer to the short arc on the right of the 2 points connected to O.
and y and x refer to the larger arc on the left of the 2 line connected to O. that means according to the second statement : 360-x (the big angle around O) = 2y
so,
360 - 106 = 2y
254 = 2y
y = 127°
25x3=75
4x12=48
48-10=38

No because adding the two fives will give you a 10 and 10 is greater than 3
