If the perimeter of a square is 20, find the length of a diagonal

Mathematics
1 answer:
avanturin [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

7.07

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>Length</u></h2>

a square has equal length on each side

hence is the perimeter is 20 it means that :

each side is 20/4 = 5

we can make a diagonal line which create 3 right angled triangles

2 sides of the triangle are 5 , this is the base and the height

to find the length we can make use of the Pythagoras theorem

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c is the hypotenuse ( the diagonal;)

a and b are the opposite and adjacent

hence :

c^2 = 5 ^2 + 5^2

c^2 = 50

c = \sqrt{50}

c = 7.071

to 3sf

<h3><u>diagonal length  = 7.07</u></h3>

How do I solve this?
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

x is in the range [-1,4]

Step-by-step explanation:

I haven't worked with absolute value inequalities in awhile, but let's take a wack at this.

We are given the following inequality:

| 2x - 3 | <= 5

This implies two possible cases:

[1] -5 <= 2x -3

Or

[2] 2x - 3 <= 5

So let's solve x for both of these cases:

[1] -5 <= 2x - 3

 -2 <= 2x

 -1  <= x

[2]  2x - 3 <= 5

 2x <= 8

  x <= 4

So from these cases, we can say the following is true:

x >= -1  and x <= 4

Thus, we can write this in the form

-1 <= x <= 4

Or in interval notation:

{ x is element of reals | -1 <= x <= 4}

Also written as

x is in the range [-1,4]

Where the closed brackets represent 1 and 4 as possible answers whereas parenthesis would imply they were not.

Cheers.

Express the volume of the box as a<br>polynomial in the variable x
Whitepunk [10]

The volume of the box as a polynomial in the variable x is x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)

<h3>How to determine the volume?</h3>

The complete question is added as an attachment

From the attached image, we have:

Length = 12 - 2x

Width = 7 - 2x

Height = x

The volume is calculated as:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Volume = (12 - 2x) * (7 - 2x) * x

This gives

Volume = x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)

Hence, the volume of the box as a polynomial in the variable x is x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)

a triangle has a perimeter of 10x+2 . two sides have lengths of 5x and 2x+9 what is the length of the 3rd side
stiks02 [169]
Since all the sides add up to 10x+2, that means that 10x-2-<side1>-<side2>=<side3>. Plugging it in, we have 10x-2-5x-(2x+9)=side3, and 5x-2-(2x+9)=side3, then expanding it to 5x-2-2x-9=3x-11=side3
