Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Use the Pythagorean Theorem</u>
The equation for the Pythagorean Theorem is 
* a and b are the lengths of the legs, and c is the hypotenuse.*
(To know which side is the hypotenuse look at longest side which is across the right angle).
a= x, b=8, c=9

Let's Plug in the side lengths:

Evaluate 8^2 and 9^2:

Subtract 64 from both sides:


Take the square root of both sides:

We know that
<span>4 1/2 gallons-------> (4+2+1)/2-----> 9/2 gallons
</span>
1 <span> wall in the house will need --------> 3/4 of a gallon of paint
</span> X wall-----------------------------------> 9/2 gallons
x=(9/2)/(3/4)----> 9*4/2*3-----> 36/6----> 6 walls
the answer is
6 walls
So you want to find two numbers that add up to -13 and multiply to
40. You can find the factors of 40 and find the pair that adds up to
-13. -8 and -5 multiply to 40 and add up to -13.
<span><span>(x−5)</span><span>(x−8)</span>=<span>x2</span>−13x+40</span>
You can use foil to test it
<span><span>x2</span>+<span>(−8x)</span>+<span>(−5x)</span>+40=<span>x2</span>−13x+40</span>
<span><span>x2</span>−13x+40=<span>x2</span>−13x+</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles CED and CGF are similar since two sides are on same line and one side is parallel.
<u>Corresponding sides have equal ratios:</u>
- CG/CE = CF/CD
- CG/CE = (CD - 1.8)/CD
- 6/(6 + 2.4) = (CD - 1.8)/CD
- 6/8.4 = (CD - 1.8)/CD
- 1/1.4 = (CD - 1.8)/CD
- 1*CD = 1.4CD - 1.4*1.8
- 0.4CD = 2.52
- CD = 2.52/0.4
- CD = 6.3
