Answer:

PQ = √84 = 2√21 in ≈ 9.165 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The base edges AB = 10 in, AC = 17 in, and BC = 21 in

Q ∈ BC and AQ is the altitude of the base.

Let BQ = x in ⇒ CQ = (21 - x) in

ΔAQB a right triangle at Q

∴ AQ² = AB² - BQ² = 10² - x²  ⇒(1)

ΔAQC a right triangle at Q

∴ AQ² = AC² - CQ² = 17² - (21-x)²  ⇒(2)

Equating (1) and (2)

∴  10² - x² = 17² - (21-x)²

∴ 10² - x² = 17² - (21² - 42x + x²)

∴  10² - x² = 17² - 21² + 42x - x²

∴ 10² - 17² + 21² = 42x

∴ 42x = 252

∴ x = 252/42 = 6

Substitute at (1)

∴ AQ² = AB² - BQ² = 10² - x² = 100 - 36 = 64 = 8²

∴ AQ = 8 in

∵ The lateral edge PA of a triangular pyramid ABCP is perpendicular to the base

∴ PA⊥AQ

∴ ΔPAQ is a right triangle at A,

PA = 2sqrt5 in  and AQ = 8 in

∴ PQ (hypotenuse) = √(PA² + AQ²)

∴ PQ = √[(2√5)² + 8²] = √(20+64) = √84 = 2√21 in ≈ 9.165 in

Answer:

h = 8

Let the unknown number be h for height

V = LWH

984 = 20.5 x 6 x h

984 = 20.5 x 6h

984 = 123h

984 ÷ 123h

= 8

The sum of two numbers is 2490 and if 6.5 percent of one no. is equal to 8.5 percent of the other, then numbers are ?? Make sure
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The two number are :

x = 1411

y = 1079

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers = x and y

The sum of two numbers is 2490

x + y = 2490..... Equation 1

If 6.5 percent of one no. is equal to 8.5 percent of the other,

Hence:

6.5% of x = 8.5% of y

0.065x = 0.085y

Make x the subject of the Formula

x = 0.085y/0.065

x = 1.308y

We substitute 1.308y for x Equation 1

x + y = 2490..... Equation 1

1.308y + y = 2490

2.308y = 2490

y = 2490/2.308

y = 1078.8561525

y = 1079

x + y = 2490..... Equation 1

x = 2490 - y

x = 2490 - 1079

x = 1411

Veronica is choosing between two health clubs. Studio A has membership is $23.00 and a monthly fee $24.75. Studio B has a member
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Brainliest please

Step-by-step explanation:

You'd have to write equations for the price per month for each club.

Let  x  equal the number of months of membership, and  y  equal the total cost.

Club A's is  y = 24x + 21.50 and Club B's is  y = 17.25 x + 41.00 Because we know that the prices,  y , would be equal, we can set the two equations equal to each other.

24x + 21.50 =17.25 x+ 41.00

subtract 21.50 both sides

. We can now solve for  x  by isolating the variable.

24x=17.25x+19.5

divide 17.25x

1.39x=19.5

divide 1.39 both sides

x=14.02

After five months, the total cost would be the same.
