Did you notice the little box with corners marked in the angle down at the bottom ?
That angle is a right angle, and <em>this triangle is a right triangle</em> !
This piece of information is a big help. It breaks the problem wide open.
You know that in order to find the longest side of a right triangle . . .
-- Square the length of one short side.
-- Square the length of the other short side.
-- Add the two squares together.
-- Take the square root of the sum.
One short side=48. Its square = 2,304.
The other short side=48. Its square = 2,304.
Add the two squares: 2,304 + 2,304 = 4,608
The square root of the sum = √4,608 = <em><u>67.88</u></em> (rounded)
Drawing a diagonal will create two right triangles. So you can use a^2+ b2 =c^2
So approximately 106.47 feet or the square root of 11336
Hello.
JK (or any other combination of letters) doesn't stand for anything in geometry. The purpose of these letters is to reference certain angles and sides of a figure without having to describe the angles/sides in relation to other angles/sides to know exactly which angle or side is being referenced.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
2x-1 (simplest)
Step-by-step explanation:
First put parentheses around 6x-3
The expression is (6x-3)/3
Simplify 2x-1
Make sure you divide both terms though (common mistake only dividing 1)
