Answer:

$x = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure B = 2½ the size of figure A

One side of figure B is given as 5, therefore, 5 = 2½ of x in figure A.

Thus, $5 = 2\frac{1}{2}*x$

Solve for x

$5 = \frac{5}{2}*x$

$5*2 = \frac{5x}{2}*2$

$10 = 5x$

$\frac{10}{5} = \frac{5x}{5}$

$2 = x$

$x = 2$

What is the answer? Please

Answer:

i would say the 3rd one

Step-by-step explanation:

Given three points, it is possible to draw a circle that passes through all three. The perpendicular bisectors of a chords always passes through the center of the circle. By this method we find the center and can then draw the circle. This is virtually the same as constructing the circumcircle a triangle.

What is the solution to sqrt 17-x=x+3? Show your work.

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

$x=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember:

$(\sqrt[n]{a})^n=a\\\\(a+b)=a^2+2ab+b^2$

Given the equation $\sqrt{17-x}=x+3$ , you need to solve for the variable "x" to find its value.

You need to square both sides of the equation:

$(\sqrt{17-x})^2=(x+3)^2$

$17-x=(x+3)^2$

Simplifying, you get:

$17-x=x^2+2(x)(3)+3^2\\\\17-x=x^2+6x+9\\\\x^2+6x+9+x-17=0\\\\x^2+7x-8=0$

Factor the quadratic equation. Find two numbers whose sum be 7 and whose product be -8. These are: -1 and 8:

$(x-1)(x+8)=0$

Then:

$x_1=1\\x_2=-8$

Let's check if the first solution is correct:

$\sqrt{17-(1)}=(1)+3$

$4=4$ (It checks)

Let's check if the second solution is correct:

$\sqrt{17-(-8)}=(-8)+3$

$5\neq-5$ (It does not checks)

Therefore, the solution is:

$x=1$

How many tiles of 10cm by a 6cm will be needed to pave a rectangular path of 5m by 3m

kherson [118]

Answer:

2500 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

convert the path to the same units, one m = 100 cm

path= 500 cm x 300 cm

path area = 150,000 cm^2

each tile = 10x6 = 60 cm^2

150,000/60 = 2500 tiles
