What is the expression for "the difference between 5 times a number and twice that number"?

1 answer:

3 0

Hey there :)

Before translating the sentence into mathematics, let r represent 'a number'

5 times a number = 5r
2 times that number = 2r

The difference between them = 5r - 2r

* Your equation
5r - 2r

* Solving the equation
= 5r - 2r
= 3r

the width of a rectangle is 8 feet and the diagnal length of the rectangle is 13 feet which measurement is closest to the length

____ [38]

Answer:

Well the whole answer is 10.246950 smth smth but I don’t have the multiple choices so your gonna have to round yourself

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so you have a weigh of 8 and a diagonal of 13.

If you look, theres a triangle there. One side has 8 and the diagonal that was cut forms a 13. So we have a leg and a hypotnuse. To find the other leg (length) just follow the Pythagorean theroum and solve for b or a.

Pythagorean theroum: a^2+b^2=c^2

Now subsitute c for 13 since its the hypotnuse and a or b as 8 but only one.

In this case I’m substituting a for 8.

8^2+b^2=13^2

Solve the squares

64+b^2= 169

Isolate the b

b^2=105

Now square root 105

√105 will give the answer above on a normal calculator but if you have to round, I don’t know what place but you can round.

Find the coordinates of the third vertex that completes the construction of a right triangle on the coordinate plane.

Neko [114]

Answer:

(7,a) Where a ∈ R - {7}

OR

(-2,a) where a ∈ R - {-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the given line from the right to the left are:

(7,1) and (-2,1)

So, to make a right triangle, we need to make a right angle or by another words, we need to a make a perpendicular line to the given line (i.e: a vertical line parallel to the y-axis at one of the given points)

So, the third vertex must be on the line x=7 or x=-2

So, the coordinates of the third vertex is:

(7,a) Where a ∈ R - {7}

OR

(-2,a) where a ∈ R - {-2}

PLEASE HELP GUYS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Im on the same question so dont copy word for word

Step-by-step explanation:

The first error he made is that he didn't do the right steps in order to find the area of the two triangles. Instead he should have done 0.5 X 16 X 15 X 2= 240

Then the area for the three rectangles should be 16 X 8 + 17 x 8 + 17 X 8 = 400

If you add it all together, the surface area is actually 640 square meters.
