<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

(c) 4.1 km

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

We are given that the height of the balloon is 4 km and that it is 1 km away from the station.

Setting up the diagram that describes the given scenario, we would end up with a right-angled triangle as the one shown in the attached image

<u>where:</u>

height of the balloon = 4 km represents one side of the triangle

distance between the base of the balloon and the station = 1 km represents the other side

distance between the balloon and the station is the length we want to find and it represents the hypotenuse of the triangle.

<u>To get the length of the hypotenuse, we will use the Pythagorean theorem</u>

hypotenuse = +\sqrt{(side1)^2 + (side2)^2}

<u>Substitute with the givens:</u>

hypotenuse = +\sqrt{(4)^2 + (1)^2} = √17 ≈ 4.1 km

Hope this helps :)

Find the area of the square rug if it is side is (7X +4) feet.
likoan [24]

Answer:

49x^{2}+56x+16 ft squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, so we are given that we have a rug that has a side of 7x+4 feet. With this information, we are able to determine the area of the square rug. Considering that it is a square rug, all the sides are equal to each other because a square has four equal sides and angles.

To solve this, you can do it in two ways.

One, write it as (7x+4)2. That 2 is supposed to represent squared.

If you know the rule, this is a perfect square trinomial.

The formula is a squared plus 2ab plus b squared. 7 and 4 are your a and b values. 7x squared is 49x squared and 4 squared is 16.

2ab, multiply 2 times 7x times 4. That is 56x.

Therefore, the area is 49xsquared plus 56x+16.

Another way is to write it like this (7x+4) (7x+4).

Since it is an exponent, we are multiplying the same thing two times. Apply the Distributive Property.

E.G. 2(x+5)= 2x+10.

With this, you are distributing two numbers into another two numbers. 7x times 7x is 49x squared and 7x times 4 is 28x. Then, go to 4. 4 times 7x is also 28 x and 4 times 4 is 16. Now, combine the like terms. 49x squared plus 28x plus 28x or 56x plus 16.

This represents your area.

I hope this helps, and I hope you have a good day!

\sqrt{-x+26}=x-6 −x+26=x−6
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

x = 1 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation \sqrt{-x+26}=x-6, we are to find the value of x

Take the square of both sides

(\sqrt{-x+26})²= (x-6)²

-x+26 = (x-6)²

Expand the parenthesis

-x+26 = x²-12x+36

x²-12x+36+x-26 = 0

x²-11x+10 = 0

x²-10x-x +10 = 0

x(x-10) -1()-10) = 0

(x-1)(x-10) = 0

x - 1 =0 and x - 10 = 0

x = 1 and 10

Hence the value of x is 1 and 10
