Hawick is 15 kilometers south of Abbotsford, and Kelso is 17 kilometers east of Abbotsford. What is the distance from Hawick to Kelso? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a km.

Answer:

22.7 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape formed by this problem is a right triangle which is attached.

We apply Pythagoras Theorem

x^2=17^2+15^2\\x^2=514\\x=22.7\: km

The distance from Hawick to Kelso is 22.7 km (to the nearest tenth of a km)

The vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is 20° less than the sum of the base angles. Which system of equations can be used to
WINSTONCH [101]

The answer to the above question can be explained as under -

We know that, the sum of angles of triangle is 180°.

So, vertex angle plus base angles are equal are equal to 180°.

Let the vertex angle be represented by "v" and base angles be represented by "b".

Thus,  v + b + b = 180°

So,  v + 2b = 180°

Next, the question says, the vertex angle is 20° less than the sum of base angles.

Thus, 2b - 20° = v

<u>Thus, we can conclude that the correct option is A) v + 2b = 180°, 2b - 20° = v</u>

Subtract 6 from me. Then multiply by 2. If you subtract 40 and then divide by 4, you get 8. What number am I?
aliina [53]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be "x"

We translate the word equation to algebraic equation.

First,

subtract 6 from me, so we have:

x - 6

Now,

Multiply by 2, so we have:

2(x-6)

Now,

Subtract 40, then divide by 4:

\frac{2(x-6)-40}{4}

Now, you get "8", so equate this to 8, we get:

\frac{2(x-6)-40}{4}=8

We now solve using algebra:

\frac{2(x-6)-40}{4}=8\\2(x-6)-40=4*8\\2(x-6)-40=32\\2x-12-40=32\\2x-52=32\\2x=32+52\\2x=84\\x=42

The number is 42

(3,51)(5,59)
slope = (59 - 51) / (5 - 3) = 8/2 = 4

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 4
(3,51)...x = 3 and y = 51
sub and find b, the y int
51 = 4(3) + b
51 = 12 + b
51 - 12 = b
39 = b

so ur equation is : y = 4x + 39...but u need it in standard form

y = 4x + 39
-4x + y = 39
4x - y = -39 <==== this is ur equation...x = number of hrs and y = total velocity
====================
ur x axis is the number of hrs
ur y axis is total velocity in km

y = 4x + 39......slope = 4.....y int = (0,39)....x int is (- 9.75,0) or -9 3/4 for graphing purposes)....so start at (-9.75,0)...and since the slope is 4, go up 4 and to the right 1....plot that...then up 4 and to the right 1...plot that...u will cross the y axis at (0,39)....and just connect ur plotted points and u have ur line......or what u can do since it is asking for the first 6 hrs....sub in 1 for x and solve for y....then sub in 2 for x and solve for y...keep doing this up till 6 and u will have ur line up till 6 hrs
