Answer:

13.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 8.2^2 = 15.5^2

x = \sqrt{15.5^2 -8.2^2}

x = 13.2 ft

Let's try to divide the sentence into multiple parts and then combine it one by one to make it easier to understand. 

1. True
2 times y and 6                                                          -------->(2y+6)
the square of the sum of "2 times y and 6"             -------->(2y+6)^2
8 times  "the square of the sum of 2 times y and 6"------> 8(2y+6)^2

2. True
the difference of x and 7                            -------->(x-7)
9 and x                                                         -------->(9 + x)
2 times the product of the sum of
"9 and x" and "the difference of x and 7"-------> 2(9 + x)  (x-7)

3. True
difference of 5 times x and 3   -------->(5x-3)
the square of the difference of 5 times x and 3------->(5x-3)^2

4. False
The description should be: the product of 7 and the square of x
the product of 7 and x                        -------->(7x)
the square of the product of 7 and x -------->(7x)^2

5. True
This one should be clear as it was one sentences
the sum of y squared(y^2) and three times y(3y) minus 4-------->y^2+ 3y -4

6. False
The description should be: the product of 5 and 8 times the square of x plus the sum of 20x and 8
the sum of 20x and 8                -------->20x+8
8 plus the square of x plus the sum of 20x and 8-------->8+ x^2 +20x+8
the product of 5 and....                ------->(5)(........
the product of 5 and
8 plus the square of x plus the sum of 20x and 8---->(5)(8+ x^2 +20x+8)

2 and 4 seemed really confusing , please help :(
artcher [175]
2. This question is basically asking you to factor 6x² - x - 12, so that one bracket is (2x - 3) and the other bracket is your answer. If you do factor 6x² - x - 12, you get (2x - 3)(3x + 4), so your answer would be J. 3x + 4.

4. Again you are factoring, so you would get your answer as (x + 3)(x - 2), which is answer F.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you would like me to show you how I factored :)

4. You sketch a right triangle that has a
stich3 [128]

Answer:

√95 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, you need to use the pythagorean theorem, or a^2 + b^2 = c^2

The hypotenuse is the c and let one leg be b. You can write:

a^2 + 7^2 = 12^2

a^2 + 49 = 144

Now, you need to solve for a:

a^2 = 144 - 49

a^2 = 95

a = √95 cm, or about 9.75cm
