This question boils down to this:
"What is the diagonal of a square with a side length of 90 ft?"

The key to this question is the properties of squares.
All of the angles in a square are right, (90°) but that diagonal is going to bisect two of those into 45° angles.
Now we have two triangles, each with angle measures of 45°, 45°. and 90°.
(an isoceles right triangle)

This 45-45-90 tirnalge is one of two special triangles (the other being the 30-60-90) and here is its special property: the sides opposite these angles can be put as x, x, and x√2 respectively. Why? Well, we know that our triangle is isoceles (the congruent base angles ⇔ congruent sides) and so we call those x...by the Pythagorean theorem...a² + b² = c²...2x² = c²...x√2 = c!

In our case here, that diagonal, being the hypotenuse of our triangle, is going to be 90√2 feet, or approximately 127.3 feet.

Plz help me find answer. what are the coordinates of slope when y= x/1–x² when dy/dx=1​
vova2212 [387]

Step-by-step explanation:

dy/dx

= d/dx [x / (1 - x²)]

= [(1 - x²)(1) - (x)(-2x)] / (1 - x²)²

= (1 + x²) / (1 - x²)².

When dy/dx = 1, (1 + x²) / (1 - x²)² = 1.

=> 1 + x² = 1 - x²

=> 2x² = 0, x = 0.

Also when x = 0, y = (0) / [1 - (0)²] = 0.

Hence the coodinates is (0, 0).

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Board 1 = 1.2m

Board 2 = 2.4m

Board 3 = 3.6m

Step-by-step explanation:

Board 1 = x

Board 2 = 2x

Board 3 = 3x
x + 2x + 3x = 6x

7.2 /6 = 1.2

Board 1 = 1.2

Board 2 = 2 (1.2) = 2.4

Board 3 = 3 (1.2) = 3.6
