Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a≤b

b≤c

definitely a can't be more of c

at last, equal

so a≤c

A 9.85 m ladder is placed against a wall. The height to the top of the ladder is 5 m more than the distance between the wall and

Dafna1 [17]

Given:

Length of the ladder = 9.85 m

The height to the top of the ladder is 5 m more than the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder.

To find:

The height to the top and the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder.

Solution:

let x be the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder. Then the height to the top of the ladder is (x+5).

Pythagoras theorem: In a right angle triangle,

$Hypotenuse^2=Base^2+Perpendicular^2$

In the given situation, hypotenuse is the length of ladder, i.e., 9.85 m. The base is x m and the height is (x+5) m.

Using the Pythagoras theorem, we get

$(9.85)^2=x^2+(x+5)^2$

$97.0225=x^2+x^2+10x+25$

$0=2x^2+10x+25-97.0225$

$0=2x^2+10x-72.0225$

Here, $a=2, b=10,c=-72.0225$ . Using the quadratic formula, we get

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{(10)^2-4(2)(-72.0225)}}{2(2)}$

$x=\dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{676.18}}{4}$

Approximating the value, we get

$x=\dfrac{-10\pm 26}{4}$

$x=\dfrac{-10+26}{4},\dfrac{-10-26}{4}$

$x=\dfrac{16}{4},\dfrac{-36}{4}$

$x=4,-9$

Distance cannot be negative so $x\neq -9.$

Now we have $x=4$

$x+5=4+5$

$x+5=9$

Therefore, the base is 4 m and the height is 9 m.

Make a 8 1/3 a faction then make it into simplest form and then explain PLS HELP ME

horsena [70]

Answer:

2 2/3

Step-by-step Explanation:

You can make the 8 1/3 a fraction by making the whole number 8 into a fraction by putting 8 as the numerator and 1 as the denomenator and then multiply 8/1 by 1/3 to get 8/3. You can then simplify this even further by making this improper fraction into an mixed fraction. 3 goes into 8, 2 times with a remainder of 2. You then write the remainder as 2 over 3 to make the fraction 2/3. This then comes out to be 2 2/3.

8/1 • 2/3 = 8/3

8/3 = 2 2/3

I need help with this question please

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Since you know that the equation of straight line is y=Mx + c
Where m mean gradient , and c means intercept
We don’t know our intercept neither do we know our gradient
So we have to find these to get our equation
Therefore, to find m( gradient) from the table
We are going to use the formulae for gradient which is
M=y2-y1 / x2-x1
I.e from the table
M= 23-15 / 4-2
M=8/2
M=4
Therefore how gradient is 4

PLEASE CHECK MY ANSWERS (PART 2)

Anna007 [38]

3 is incorrect, should be 28.9

16^2 + 18^2 = EG^2
256 + 324
580 = EG^2
EG ≈ 24.08

16^2 + 24.08^2 = AG^2
256 + 580 = AG^2
836 = AG^2
AG ≈ 28.9

5 is incorrect:

The base is 8.
Draw an altitude the base.
Since the triangle is isoceles, it divides the base in half.
Half of that base is 4.
Two right triangles have been formed with one leg 4 and hypotenuse 8.
4^2 + b^2 = 8^2
16 + b^2 = 64
b^2 = 48
b ≈ 6.93

The height of the triangle is 6.93, the base is 8.
A = bh/2 = 8*6.93/2 ≈ 27.7 ≈ 28

In APQR, PQ- QR. If map

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

3x-120 = x - 30

2x -120 = -30

2x= 90

x= 45

3(45) -120 (plug x into angle p to check your answer)

135-120

15 degrees

45-30 (plug x into angle r to make sure it's the same thing as angle p)

15 degrees (they're equal so now figure out angle Q and answer the question)

180 - (15 +15)

180- 30

150 is the measure of angle Q

so, the triangle is an obtuse isosceles triangle
