A youth group is setting up camp. Rain is predicted, so the campers decide to build a fly, or rain cover, over their tent. The f

The image for this is attached for reference. This problem can be used by the Pythagorean equation. To make solving convenient, let us see only one part of the tent. Hence, one side is half of the tend width which is 16/2ft. Height is 12 ft. The unknown side is the hypotenuse. The answer is:
$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2} 8^{2} + 12^{2} = c^{2} c = 14.4$

The base of a triangle is nine centimeters longer than the perpendicular height. If the area of the triangle is 180 square centi

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

<em>The base is 24 cm long.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

Let's call

b= base of the triangle

h=height of the triangle

The base is 9 cm longer than the height, thus:

b = h + 9

The area of the triangle is:

$\displaystyle A=\frac{bh}{2}$

$\displaystyle A=\frac{(h+9)h}{2}$

And its value is 180:

$\displaystyle \frac{(h+9)h}{2}=180$

Multiplying by 2:

$(h+9)h=360$

Operating:

$h^2+9h-360=0$

Factoring:

$(h-15)(h+24)=0$

The only valid positive solution is:

h = 15 cm

And b = h + 9 = 24

b = 24 cm

The base is 24 cm long.

Stells [14]

Answer:

7**6

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression 7^6 ; can be interpreted as 7 raised to the power of 6 ; which is (7 * 7 * 7 * 7 * 7 * 7). To execute this expression using a computer or basic mathematical operation on a computer we use the power symbol which the computer understand this the double multiplication symbol (**)

Hence, 7^6 = (7**6)

Add the following polynomials, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

$x^3 - 6x + 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomials can be added together by adding like terms together as shown below:

=> Add together, the coefficient of all terms that have the power of 3.

$(2x^3) + (x^3) + (-3x^3)$

$2x^3 + x^3 - 3x^3$

$3x^3 - 3x^3$

$x^3$

=> $(-4x^2) + (6x^2) + (2x^2)$

$-4x^2 + 8x^2$

$4x^2$

=> $(6x) + (-8x) + (-4x)$

$6x - 8x - 4x$

$-6x$

=> $(-3) + (12) +(-7)$

$-3 + 12 - 7$

$2$

The answer = $x^3 - 6x + 2$
