Step 1 is to factor everything! 

After factoring you will get:

x-5 over (x+2)(x+5) times x+4 over (x-3)(x+4)

Step 2 is to remove the duplicate factors!
Remove x+4 and x+5

x-5 over (x+2)(x-5) times 1 over x-3 = 1 over x+2 times 1 over x-3 

Step 3 is to multiply the numerators and the denominators.

End result is 1 over (x+2)(x-3)

Answer: Our simplified form will be

\frac{1}{(x+2)(x-3)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

\frac{x-5}{x^2-3x-10}\times \frac{x+4}{x^2+x-12}

So, first we split the middle term of the denominator ,

x^2-3x-10=0\\\\=x^2-5x+2x-10\\\\=x(x-5)+2(x-5)\\\\=(x-5)(x+2)

Similarly,

x^2+x-12=0\\\\x^2+4x-3x-12=0\\\\x(x+4)-3(x+4)=0\\\\(x+4)(x-3)=0

Now, we put in our expression above:

\frac{x-5}{(x-5)(x+2)}\times \frac{x+4}{(x-3)(x+4)}\\\\=\frac{1}{x+2}\times \frac{1}{x-3}\\\\=\frac{1}{(x+2)(x-3)}

Hence, our simplified form will be

\frac{1}{(x+2)(x-3)}

ABC is a right-angled triangle.
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

14.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagoreom theorum shows a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Therefore, c^2 - a^2 = b^2

256 - 44.89 = 211.11

The square root of 211.11 rounded to the first decimal place is 14.5
