Answer:

The number is either 2 or 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Where x is the unknown number, the square of may be interpreted as x², then the  square of the number minus three times the number will be equivalent to

x² - 3x

If this is equal to 2 then

x² - 3x = -2

such that

x² - 3x + 2 = 0

This may be solved using factorization of quadratic equation

x² - 2x -x + 2 = 0

x(x - 2) -1(x- 2) = 0

(x -2)(x-1) = 0

x = 2 or 1

The altitude drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the hypotenuse into segments of lengths 4 and 12. Find the leng
fomenos
The altitude will be the geometric mean of the lengths, so
h=\sqrt{4 \cdot 12}=4\sqrt{3}.  The smaller leg is the hypotenuse of a right triangle sides 4 and 4 \sqrt{3}, so the usual trig cliche, hypotenuse 8.

Answer: 8

Classify triangle ABC by its angles if m
mezya [45]
It seems that you missed the essential details for this question, but anyway, I have found the complete question. So given that angles m<A=32 and m<B=55, let us find first for the measure of angle c. So m<C= <span>180 - 32-55 = 93, so it is 93. Based on these measurements, Triangle ABC is an obtuse triangle. By definition, an obtuse triangle is a triangle in which one of its angles is obtuse or which measures more than 90 degrees. Hope this answer helps.</span><span>
