Answer:

<u>The dimensions of the sports field are 80 yards and 3 - 5x yards</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Width of the sports field = At least 60 yards

Area of the sports field = 240 - 400x square yards

We can conclude the shape of the sports field is rectangular.

2. Find the dimensions of the sports field.

A. We need to find the Greatest Common factor between 240 and 400, this way:

The factors of 240 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240 .

The factors of 400 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, 200, 400 .

Then the greatest common factor is 80.

This GCF is also higher than 60, therefore it's one of the dimensions of the sports field.

Now, we calculate the other side of the sports, this way:

Second dimension of the sports field = (240 - 400x)/80

Second dimension of the sports field = 3 -5x

<u>The dimensions of the sports field are 80 yards and 3 - 5x yards</u>

If the sum of the legs of a right triangle is 49 inches and the hypotenuse is 41 inches, find the length of the other two sides

german

The length of one leg is x inches.
The sum of the legs is 49 inches, so the length of the other leg is 49-x inches.
The length of the hypotenuse is 41 inches.

Use the Pythagorean theorem:
$(\hbox{one leg})^2 + (\hbox{the other leg})^2=(\hbox{hypotenuse})^2 \\ x^2+(49-x)^2=41^2 \\
x^2+2401-98x+x^2=1681 \\
2x^2-98x+2401=1681 \ \ \ |-1681 \\
2x^2-98x+720=0 \\ \\
a=2 \\ b=-98 \\ c=720 \\ b^2-4ac=(-98)^2-4 \times 2 \times 720=9604-5760=3844 \\ \\
x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-(-98) \pm \sqrt{3844}}{2 \times 2}=\frac{98 \pm 62}{4} \\
x=\frac{98-62}{4} \ \lor \ x=\frac{98+62}{4} \\
x=\frac{36}{4} \ \lor \ x=\frac{160}{4} \\
x=9 \ \lor \ x=40$

$
49-x=49-9 \ \lor \ 49-x=49-40 \\
49-x=40 \ \lor \ 49-x=9$

The lengths of the legs are 9 inches and 40 inches.

If 8=10 and 1=7,which describes all the lines that must be parallel?

agasfer [191]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For the above statement to hold we must have two sets of parallel lines; that is:

r and s , and then t and u.

These lines form corresponding and alternate angles.
