5x-8y=40 what is the x intercept

1 answer:

Artist 52 [7]2 years ago

8 0

Hello! The x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis when y = 0. We already have the expression shown. We will plug in 0 as y to get this:

5x - 8(0) = 40.

As you probably know, anything times 0 is 0, so -8 * 0 is 0. All we have is 5x = 40. Divide each side by 5 to isolate the x. 5x/5 cancels out. 40/5 is 8. There. x = 8. The x-intercept is (8, 0).

The ratio of the measure of three angles of a triangle is 2:3:10. Find the measure of the largest angle.

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The measure of the largest angle:

120°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the internal angles of a triangle = 180°:

2 + 3 + 10 = 15

then:

180/15 = 12

then, the measure of the largest angle:

10 * 12 = 120°

What is PA <br> Enter your answer in the box

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

P is the in-center

⇒PA=PE=PD because they are in-radius of the in-circle

We know that, tangent segments drawn from a point outside the circle are always equal in length

⇒DK=EK=7.2

In right triangle PKE,

using Pythagoras' Theorem : $PK^{2}=PE^{2}+KE^{2}$

⇒ $PE^{2}=PK^{2}-KE^{2}$

⇒ $PE=\sqrt{PK^{2}-KE^{2} }$

⇒ $PE^{2}=\sqrt{7.8^{2}-7.2^{2}} }$

⇒ $PE=3$

Therefore, $PA=3$
