Given CD is an altitude such that AD=BC , AB=3 cm and CD= √2 cm.

Let AD=x, Since given AB=3

                                     AD+DB=3

                                       x+DB = 3

                                        DB = 3-x

Since ΔBCD is rght angle triangle, let's apply Pythagoras theorem

BC^{2} = DB^{2} +CD^{2}

BC^{2} = (3-x)^{2} +(\sqrt{2} )^{2}

BC^{2} =(3-x)^{2} +2

Since given AD=BC,let us plugin BC=x in above step.

x^{2} =(3-x)^{2} +2

x^{2} =9-6x+x^{2} +2

6x=11

x=\frac{11}{6}

Now we know AD=x=\frac{11}{6} and given CD=√2.

Let us apply Pythagoras theorem for ΔACD

AC^{2} =AD^{2} +DC^{2}

AC^{2} = (\frac{11}{6} )^{2} +(\sqrt{2} )^{2}

AC^{2} =\frac{193}{36}

AC=\sqrt{\frac{193}{36} } = 2.315cm

4. Tori bought x shares of Mattel stock for m dollars per share. She sold
faust18 [17]

Answer:

mx = y

or

y = mx

Step-by-step explanation:

If she pays <em>m </em>per share, and <em>x</em> represents each share, you will multiply <em>m and x.</em><em> </em>If she sold all them for the value of <em>y.</em> Then you set <em>mx</em> equal to <em>y.</em>

<em />

mx = y

or

y = mx

Which matrix represents the system of equations shown below?
Kazeer [188]

So matrix which show equation 4x+2y=4 is  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&2&4\\12&-1&26\end{array}\right] .

Given that we have an equation that is 4x+2y=4

So equation is a statement that the values of two mathematical expressions are equal (indicated by the sign =).

So in order to write this equation in matrix form we have to write it into augmented matrix

So augmented matrix is a matrix whose elements are the coefficients of a set of simultaneous linear equations with the constant terms of the equations entered in an added column.

Therefore the matrix will be:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&2&4\\12&-1&26\end{array}\right]    .

Bella is wrapping a cube-shaped gift box that measures 8.5 inches along each edge. How many square inches of wrapping paper is n
dybincka [34]

we know that

The surface area of a cube is equal to

S=6*A

where

A is the area of one face of the cube

in this problem

A=8.5^{2}= 72.25\ in ^{2}

Find the surface area

S=6*72.25=433.5\ in ^{2}

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

433.5\ in ^{2}  of wrapping paper is needed to cover the box completely
