Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

x^2 + (x+2)^2 = (2x-2)^2

FOIL (x+2)^2 = x^2 +2x+2x+4 = x^2 +4x+4

FOIL (2x-2)^2 = 4x^2 -4x -4x+4 = 4x^2 -8x+4

Replacing these in to the equation

x^2 +x^2 +4x+4 = 4x^2 -8x+4

Combine like terms

2x^2 +4x +4 = 4x^2 -8x +4

Subtract 4 from each side

2x^2 +4x +4-4 = 4x^2 -8x +4-4

2x^2 +4x = 4x^2 -8x

Subtract 2x^2 from each side

2x^2 -2x^2+4x = 4x^2-2x^2 -8x

4x = 2x^2 -8x

Subtract 4x from each side

4x-4x = 2x^2 -8x-4x

0 = 2x^2 -12x

Factor out a 2x

0 = 2x(x-6)

Using the zero product property

2x =0 x-6 =0

x =0 x-6+6 = 0+6

x = 0 c=6

A community pool that is shaped like a regular pentagon needs a new cover for the winter months. The radius of the pool is 20.10

boyakko [2]

Answer:

$960.42\text{ ft}^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that a community pool that is shaped like a regular pentagon needs a new cover for the winter months.

To find the area of community pool we will use area of pentagon formula.

$\text{Area of pentagon}=\frac{1}{2}a*p$ , where, a represents the apothem or perpendicular distance from the center of the pentagon and p represents perimeter of pentagon.

Let us find the perimeter of our given pentagon by multiplying each side length by 5.

$\text{Perimeter of community pool}=5\times 23.62$

$\text{Perimeter of community pool}=118.1$

Now let us find apothem of our pentagon by using Pythagoras theorem.

$a^2=20.10^2-11.81^2$

$a^2=404.01-139.4761$

$a^2=264.5339$

$a=\sqrt{264.5339}$

$a=16.2645$

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

$\text{Area of community pool}=\frac{1}{2}\times 16.2645\times 118.1$

$\text{Area of community pool}=8.13224907\times 118.1$

$\text{Area of community pool}=960.418615627971\approx 960.42$

Therefore, the area of the pool that needs to be covered is 960.42 square feet.

Harriet lives on the ground level of her apartment building. The level she lives on is repersented as by?

sattari [20]

Answer:

zero

Explanation:

In any system:

the ground (base) is referred to as zero lever

what comes above the ground level would be positive

what comes below the ground level would be negative

Now, we are given that:

she lives on the ground floor.

Based on the above, the representation would simply be zero

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

The 3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

The pattern is every 2 hours is $15 so 4 hours would be equal to $30

Since 4 hours would equal 30 and we need 12 hours multiplying both numbers by 3 would get you the answer

4x3=12

30x3=90

Making it equal
