The new square has length: 10 + l, where l is the original length of the square, and it's area is (10 + l)^2;
So, we solve the equation: 3 x l^2 = (10 + l)^2;
Then, 3 x l^2 = 100 + 20 x l + l^2;
Finally, 2xl^2 - 20xl - 100 = 0;  / ÷2;
l^2 - 10l - 50 = 0 (we use the quadratic equation formula);
The only positive solution is l = 5(1+ \sqrt{3} );

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle (a triangle that has a ninety degree angle in it) the the square of the side opposite the right angle is always equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Therefore, we can use the information we are given to figure out the missing side:

15^2=225\\9^2=81\\225-81=144\\\sqrt[2]{144}=12

A pile of sand has a weight of 90kg.
ankoles [38]

Answer:

9Kg, 18Kg and 63 Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio, 1 + 2 + 7 = 10 parts

Divide the weight of sand by 10 to find the value of one part of the ratio

90 Kg ÷ 10 = 9 Kg ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

2 parts = 2 × 9 Kg = 18 Kg

7 parts = 7 × 9 Kg = 63 Kg

Thus the weights of each bag are 9 Kg, 18 Kg and 63 Kg

Can someone explain to me how to do this?

In the slope intercept form equation of a line (y=ax+b) a represents the slope, and b represents the intercept, which is -5. Thus, we know y=ax-5. The slope can be found by creating a fraction with the change in y value on top, and the change of x value on the bottom. If we have two points (4, 1) and (0, -5) we can put this into a fraction - \frac{-5-1}{0-4}, which simplifies down to -6/-4, or 3/2. Thus the answer is f(x)=\frac{3}{2}x-5<span />
