<h3>Answer: Largest value is a = 9</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

b = 5

(2b)^2 = (2*5)^2 = 100

So we want the expression a^2+3b to be less than (2b)^2 = 100

We need to solve a^2 + 3b < 100 which turns into

a^2 + 3b < 100

a^2 + 3(5) < 100

a^2 + 15 < 100

after substituting in b = 5.

------------------

Let's isolate 'a'

a^2 + 15 < 100

a^2 < 100-15

a^2 < 85

a < sqrt(85)

a < 9.2195

'a' is an integer, so we round down to the nearest whole number to get a \le 9

So the greatest integer possible for 'a' is a = 9.

------------------

Check:

plug in a = 9 and b = 5

a^2 + 3b < 100

9^2 + 3(5) < 100

81 + 15 < 100

96 < 100 .... true statement

now try a = 10 and b = 5

a^2 + 3b < 100

10^2 + 3(5) < 100

100 + 15 < 100 ... you can probably already see the issue

115 < 100 ... this is false, so a = 10 doesn't work

The area of triangle ABC is 1.89 square feet. The measure of side c is ______.
Feliz [49]

we are given

Area is 1.89

A=40

b=2.8

now, we can use area formula

A=\frac{1}{2} c*b*sin(A)

1.89=\frac{1}{2} *c*2.8*sin(40)

now, we can solve for c

we will get

c=2.10023.............Answer

Distance from a point to a line (Coordinate Geometry)

Method 1: When the line is vertical or horizontal , the distance from a point to a vertical or horizontal line can be found by the simple difference of coordinates . Finding the distance from a point to a line is easy if the line is vertical or horizontal. We simply find the difference between the appropriate coordinates of the point and the line. In fact, for vertical lines, this is the only way to do it, since the other methods require the slope of the line, which is undefined for evrtical lines.

Method 2: (If you're looking for an equation) Distance = | Px - Lx |

Hope this helps!
