Mathematics

goldenfox [79]3 years ago

Answer:

Therefore the value of x = 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let label the Triangles first,

Δ ABC a right triangle at ∠ A =90°

Δ ADB andΔ ADC a right triangle at ∠ D =90°

Such that

AD = x

BD = 50

CD = 2

∴ BC = BD + DC = 50 + 2 = 52

To Find:

x = ?

Solution:

In right triangle  By Pythagoras Theorem,

(\textrm{Hypotenuse})^{2} = (\textrm{Shorter leg})^{2}+(\textrm{Longer leg})^{2}

In right triangle Δ ADB andΔ ADC  By Pythagoras Theorem we will have,

AB² =  BD² + AD²

AB² = 50² + x²            ..................equation ( 1 )

and

AC² = DC² + AD²

AC² = 2² + x²             ...................equation ( 2 )

Now in right triangle Δ ABC,

BC² = AB² + AC²

Equating equation  (1 ) and ( 2 ) and the given value we get

52² = 50² + x² + 2² + x²

∴ 2x² = 2704 - 2504

∴ 2x² =200

∴ x^{2} =\frac{200}{2}\\\\\therefore x=\pm\sqrt{100} \\\\ \textrm{x cannot be negative}\\\therefore x= 10\ unit

Therefore the value of x = 10 units

3. Write an equation for the line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point. y = 4x + 1 (1
asambeis [7]

Answer:

D. y = -1/4x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is perpendicular, it will have a opposite reciprocal slope.

So, the slope will be -1/4.

Plug in this slope and the given point into y = mx + b, and solve for b:

y = mx + b

-6 = -1/4(12) + b

-6 = -3 + b

-3 = b

Plug in the slope and y intercept into y = mx + b

y = -1/4x - 3

So, the correct answer is D. y = -1/4x + 3

In exercises 1 and 2, find m<1 and m<2. Tell which theorem you used in each case.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

m∠2 = 78°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given picture,

lines 'm' and 'n' are the parallel lines and line 't' is the transverse line.

∠1 and angle with the measure of 78° are corresponding angles.

Therefore, m∠1 = 78°

m∠1 = m∠2 [Vertical angles are equal]

m∠2 = 78°

Help me i beg u plzzzz
Ainat [17]
We can say at month 0 she was 43 inches tall.

And at month 18 she was 52 inches tall.

We can say that x is the number of months and y is her height.

Rise/run
y2-y1/x2-x1
52-43/18-0
9/18
1/2

So the slope is 1/2 (which is what you are looking for.) and if you were to write an equation it would be y=1/2x+43

If 150 empty water bottles weigh 4.5 pounds what do you expect 90 water empty bottles to weigh?
MakcuM [25]
It's 2.7 pounds because I set up a proportion of 150 over 90 = 4.5 over X and multiplied 90 * 4.5 divided by 150

Consider the quadratic equation below. 4x^2-5=3x+4 Determine the correct set-up for solving the equation using the quadratic for
lidiya [134]

4x^2-5=3x+4

4x^2 - 3x - 5 - 4 = 0

4x^2 - 3x -9 = 0

x= \dfrac{3 \pm \sqrt{3^2 - 4(4)(-9)}}{2(4)}

x = \frac 1 8 (3 \pm \sqrt{9(1 + 16)})

x = \frac 1 8 (3 \pm 3\sqrt{17})
