Area of triangle=42, the width is x+3 and the length is 2x+8, find the value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
beks73 [17]4 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle = 1/2 × the width × the length

42 = 1/2(x+3)(2x+8)

42 = 1/2×2×(x+3)(x+4)

42 = (x+3)(x+4)

(x+3)(x+4) = 42

x² + 7x + 12 = 42

x² + 7x + 12 - 42 = 0

x² + 7x - 30 = 0

(x-3)(x+10) = 0

x = 3, -10

x can't be -10 because the width and the length should be only + values

x = 3

If X is a normal random variable with parameters µ = 10 and σ 2 = 36, compute
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that X is a normal random variable with parameters µ = 10 and σ 2 = 36,

X is N(10, 6)

Or z = \frac{x-10}{6}

is N(0,1)

a)  P(X > 5),

=P(Z>-0.8333)\\=0.7977

(b) P(4 < X < 16),

=P(|z|

(c) P(X < 8),

=P(Z

(d) P(X < 20),

=P(Z

(e) P(X > 16).

=P(Z>-0.6667)

= 0.2524

If m∠a=47°, what is m∠b, m∠c, and m∠d? Explain how you know the measures are correct.
avanturin [10]

m ∠b = 133°, m ∠c = 47°, and m ∠d = 133°.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Follow the attached picture. I sincerely hope that's precisely a correct illustration.

We will use a graph of two intersecting straight lines.

Note that m ∠a and m ∠c are vertical angles. Since vertical angles share the same measures, in other words always congruent, we see \boxed{ \ m \ \angle{c} = m \ \angle{a} \ } \rightarrow \boxed{\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{c} = 47^0 \ }}

We continue to determine m ∠b and m ∠d.

Note that m ∠b and m ∠d represent supplementary angles. Recall that supplementary angles add up to 180°.

Let us see the following steps.  

\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{a} + m \ \angle{b} = 180^0. \ }

\boxed{ \ m \ 47^0 + m \ \angle{b} = 180^0. \ }

Both sides subtracted by 47°.

\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{b} = 180^0 - 47^0. \ }

Thus \boxed{\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{b} = 133^0. \ }}

Finally, note that m ∠b and m ∠d are vertical angles. Accordingly, \boxed{ \ m \ \angle{d} = m \ \angle{b} \ } \rightarrow \boxed{\boxed{ \ m \ \angle{d} = 133^0 \ }}

<u>Conclusion:</u>

  • m ∠a = 47°
  • m ∠b = 133°
  • m ∠c = 47°
  • m ∠d = 133°

<u>Notes:</u>

  • Supplementary angles are two angles when they add up to 180°. \boxed{ \ example: \angle{a} + \angle{b} = 180^0 \ }
  • Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines cross. Note that vertical angles are always congruent, or of equal measure. \boxed{ \ example: \angle{a} = \angle{c} \ }
