Answer:

Madeline is standing 2x - 4 feet from the base of a tree, and the height of the tree is 5x + 6

Now we want to know the distance from Madeline's feet to the top of the tree.

You could picture it as a triangle rectangle, where the cathetus is the distance between Madeline and the tree and the distance between the floor and the top of the tree, in this case the distance between Madeline's feet and the top of the tree is the hypotenuse of such triangle rectangle, and can be obtained using the Pythagorean theorem: "the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square cathetus"

then:

H^2 = (2x - 4)^2 + (5x + 6)^2

H^2 = (4x^2 -16x + 16) + (25x^2  + 60x +36)

H^2 = (29x^2 + 44x + 52)

H = \sqrt{ (29x^2 + 44x + 52)}

this is the distance from Madeline's feet to the top of the tree in terms of x.

Answer:

c = sqrt( 29x^2 + 44x + 52)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an application of the Pythagorean theorem

c = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)

a = 2x - 4

b = 5x + 6

c = sqrt( (2x - 4)^2 + (5x + 6)^2 )                           Substitute and expand

c = sqrt( 4x^2 -  16x + 16 + 25x^2 + 60x + 36)     Collect like terms

c = sqrt( 4x^2 + 25x^2 - 16x + 60x + 16+36)        Combine the like term pairs.

c = sqrt( 29x^2 + 44x + 52)

This does not factor into anything very nice.

What is the area of a cirlcle that's 4cm ​
Elena-2011 [213]
If the radius of the circle is 4 than the area would be 50.27.

If you are saying that 4 is the diameter, than divide that by 2 to get the radius which is 2. The area for this would be 12.57.

I don’t know which one you mean but hope this helps :))
