The most reasonable answer would be 2 meters since two meters equals about 6 feet.
A. x <= -12
<u>Explanation:</u>
-3x >= 36
-x >= 36/ 3
-x > = 12
x < = -12
When the negative sign is shifted then the greater than equal to sign reverses to less than equal to.
Therefore, x <= -12
Answer: a) It will be a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 75 and a vertical leg that is 62.
b) The length of the kite string is 75 (given in the problem). However, I believe you are looking for the distance from the spot on the ground beneath the kite to Janet. That is about 42.2 m.
To find the missing distance in the right triangle. You have to use the Pythagorean Theorem. I set it up and solve it below.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + 62^2 = 75^2
x^2 + 3844 = 5625
x^2 = 1781
x = 42.2 (about)
The team gained a total of 3 yards. That is because they first gained 8 (0 + 8), then lost 3 (8 - 3).
Answer:
The hypotenuse measures 8.48 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a right isosceles triangle has legs of 6 meters long each, to find the length of the hypotenuse to the nearest tenth of a meter the following calculation must be performed, through the application of the Pythagorean theorem:
6 ^ 2 + 6 ^ 2 = X ^ 2
36 + 36 = X ^ 2
√ 72 = X
8.48 = X
Therefore, the hypotenuse measures 8.48 meters.
