Answer:
This is pythagoras
A squared plus b squared equals c squared.
The unknown side is c as its the hypotenuse,
So the length of the first side is 6.4 this squared = 40.96
The other length is 12 as 6 is the radius so the diameter of the circle amd therfore the length of the triangle is 12.
12 squared is 144
144 + 40.96 = 184.96
The length of c squared is 184.96
To find the length of c alone we calculate the square root.
The square root of 184.96 = 13.6
? = 13.6
Answer:
a person travel 50 ft from the bottom to the top of the escalator
Step-by-step explanation:
An escalator lifts people to the second floor of a building, 25 ft above the first floor. The escalator rises at a 30 degree angle
The escalator forms a right angle triangle
opposite to 30 degree angle is 25 feet. to find the distance from the bottom to the top of the escalator we find the hypotenuse
let x be the hypotenuse


a person travel 50 ft from the bottom to the top of the escalator
9x - 4(x - 2) =x + 20
We move all terms to the left:
- 9x -4(x - 2) - (x + 20) = 0
Multiply
- 9x - 4x -(x + 20) + 8 = 0
We get rid of the parentheses.
We add all the numbers and all the variables.
We move all terms containing x to the left hand side, all other terms to the right hand side
