I'm going to work from left to right here, starting with the base of the largest triangle and ending with x. Pay close attention to the sides I am describing since there are no distinctive values for each vertex. The base of the largest triangle is also the hypotenuse of the one next to it. We will look at that missing side as the base of the large one to solve it. Since these are all right triangles, every single side/hypotenuse we solve for will use Pythagorean's theorem. The first missing side is found by 52^2-48^2=c^2. Simplifying we get 2704 - 2304 = c^2. c^2 = 400 so c = 20. That first missing side is 20. Now we move to the next triangle in line. we have the hypotenuse of that triangle as 20 and the base as 12. The formula to find the missing side is 20^2-12^2=c^2 and c^2=256. c = 16. 16 is the length of that whole side, but that whole side is actually the bases for those 2 small triangles. Before we can solve for x we have to find out what the base of the larger of the 2 triangles is and subtract that from 16 to find the base of the triangle with x in it. Got that? The hypotenuse is 13 and the height is 5, so the formula to find the base of that triangle is 13^2-5^2=c^2 and 169-25=c^2 so 144=c^2 and c = 12. That means that the base of the triangle with x in it is 16 - 12 which is 4. Now we have the base as 4 of that triangle and the height as 5, so we solve for x: 4^2+5^2=x^2 and 25+16=x^2 so x^2=41 and finally we have that x=\sqrt{41}. That is the simplest radical form, so that's your answer!

What is the length of line segment s a? 1.89 ft 2.43 ft 3 ft 7 ft
Slav-nsk [51]

The ratio of the sides will be constant. Then the value of the length of line segment SA will be 3 ft.

The missing diagram is given below.

<h3>What is the triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a three-sided polygon with three angles. The angles of the triangle add up to 180 degrees.

The triangles ΔABC and ΔSBT are the similar triangles.

Then the ratio of the sides will be constant.

BS / SA = BT / TC

10 / SA = 9 / 2.7

      SA = 3

Then the value of the length of line segment SA will be 3 ft.

More about the triangle link is given below.

R --&gt; 2 P. Initially you start off with 0.5 M reactants and let the reaction run to equilibrium and calculate the equilibrium
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

K still the same value

Step-by-step explanation:

given a reaction aA+bB<->cC+dD the constant K is defined as:

\frac{C^{c}D^{d}  }{A^{a}B^{b} }

K is a constant so it won't change the value. Instead, the values of C and D are going to change.  The position of equilibrium moves because of the need to keep a constant value for the equilibrium constant.

A certain math teachers likes to keep a box of prizes to distribute to students. The math teacher likes to keep at least twice a
Law Incorporation [45]

Option C

Math teacher would need to buy 130 prizes

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Math teacher currently has 109 students and the box has 88 prizes in it

The math teacher likes to keep at least twice as many prizes in the box as she has students

So, she wants the number of prizes to be twice the number of students

Therefore,

number of prizes = 2 x 109 students

number of prizes = 2 x 109 = 218 prizes

The box has 88 prizes in it

Therefore, number of prizes she would need to buy is:

⇒ 218 - 88 = 130

Thus she would need to buy 130 prizes
