X^2+15^2=25^2
X^2+225=625
Isolate X
X^2=400
Take the square root on both sides
X=positive and negative 20 but in this case the negative is thrown out because you can't have a negative side
Answer: 20

The area under the speed curve tells you how much distance the vehicle covers.

The distance for first 30 s corresponds to the area of a rectangle with height <em>k</em> m/s and length 30 s, or

(<em>k</em> m/s) (30 s) = 30<em>k</em> m

The distance for the last 20 s corresponds to the area of triangle with height <em>k</em> m/s and length 20 s, or

1/2 (<em>k</em> m/s) (20 s) = 10<em>k</em> m

If the total distance traveled was 1.7 km = 1700 m, then

30<em>k</em> + 10<em>k</em> = 1700

40<em>k</em> = 1700

<em>k</em> = 42.5

Help need it done for tomorrow ​
Gelneren [198K]

Step-by-step explanation:

the law of sines :

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

with the sides being opposite to the angles.

so,

14/sin(80) = x/sin(60)

x = 14×sin(60)/sin(80) ≈ 12.3cm

What is the distance between the points (2,10) and (-6, 4) on the coordinate
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The distance between the given points (2,10) and (-6, 4) on the coordinate  plane is 10units

Therefore distance s=10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are (2,10) and (-6, 4) on the coordinate plane

To distance between the given points :

The distance formula is s=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} units

Let (x_1,y_1) ,(x_2,y_2) be the given points (2,10) and (-6, 4) respectively

Now substituting the values in the distance formula  we get

s=\sqrt{(-6-2)^2+(4-10)^2}

=\sqrt{(-8)^2+(-6)^2}

=\sqrt{8^2+6^2}

=\sqrt{64+36}

=\sqrt{100}

=10

Therefore s=10 units

The distance between the given points (2,10) and (-6, 4) on the coordinate plane is 10units
