Answer:
I want to show you how to do this as well, the formula you are working with is a^2+b^2=c^2
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) 8^2+b^2=12^2
64+b^2=144
subtract 64 from both sides
b^2=80
take the square root of 80 and you get
b= 8.9
if you need more help on this let me know, I am going to list the other answers now because to do it all and show work on here is a lot of typing, all of which I will do if you do not understand the first example. Also the c value can ONLY BE THE HYPOTENUSE VALUE. The hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle. For example, 12 would be the C value on number one and in number two it would be 15.
2.) 14.5
3.) 10.3
4.) 18.8
5.) 8
6.) 15
Answer:
x = 3
y = 0
z = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 3x + 3y - z = 1
b) z = 8
c) -x -3y + 2z = 13
a) 3x + 3y - 8 = 1 (substitution)
a) 3x + 3y = 9
c) - x - 3y + 2(8) = 13 (substitution)
c) -x - 3y + 16 = 13
c) -x - 3y = -3
(3x + 3y = 9) + (-x -3y = -3)
= 2x = 6
x = 3
a) 3(3) + 3y - 8 = 1
9 + 3y - 8 = 1
y = (1 -9 + 8)/3
y = 0
Answer:
28.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A water tower casts a shadow that is 24 foot long. A 9.5 foot tall tree casts a shadow that is 8 foot long. What is the height of the water tower?
The formula is given as:
Height of the tower/Shadow of the tower = Height of the tree/Shadow of the tree
Let the Height of the tower = x
Hence:
x/24 = 9.5/8
Cross Multiply
8x = 24 × 9.5
x = 24 × 9.5/8
x = 28.5 feet
Therefore, the height of the water tower is 28.5 feet
