Answer:

17 is the length of the hypotenuse.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagora theorem tells us a²+b²=c², where C is hypotenuse.

Replace the given info into the formula:

8² + x² = (x+2)²

64 + x² = x² + 4x + 4

64 - 4 = 4x

60 = 4x

x = 60/4

x = 15

Hypotenuse length is 15+2=17

Answer:

x = 16.6666666667

Step-by-step explanation:

24x4 - 18x3 + 4x2 - 3x =0

24x4 = 96

18 x 3 = 54

4x2 = 8

96-54+8= 50

50/3 = 16.6666666667

Simplify quantity 1 over 36 minus 1 over x squared all over 1 over 6 plus 1 over x.

Ne4ueva [31]

[ (1 / 36) - (1 / x²) ] / [ (1 / 6) + (1 / x) ]

[ (x² - 36) / 36x² ] / [ (x + 6) / 6x ]

remember that:
x² - 36 = (x + 6)(x - 6)

so

[ (x+6)(x-6) / 36x² ] / [ (x + 6) / 6x ]

[ (x+6)(x-6) / 36x² ] * [ 6x / (x + 6) ]

6x / 36x² = 1 / 6x

[ (x+6)(x-6) / 6x ] * [ 1 / (x+6) ] -------------------- > (x - 6) / 6x

The answer is (x - 6) / 6x

Answer:

16.24°

Step-by-step explanation:

Are you trying to find the angle of depression from the camera to the cashier?

Assume that the camera is 2.24 m high and the cashier is 7.69 m away.

1. Angle of elevation from cashier

tanθ = 2.24/7.69 = 0.2913

θ = arctan(0.2913) = 16.24°

2. Angle of depression from camera

∠ of depression = ∠ of elevation = 16.24°
